Blogging

I have struggled in the past when posting on this blog. I want it to be grammatically correct, with correct spelling, good flow, and entertaining. This really puts the pressure on. After reading some one else blog I realized that this is not just for all of you to catch up on what I have been doing, but for me to account for my life, relive events as I write them out, and preserve them.

My grandfather use to sit and tell me stories about his family, the war, and all the things he had experienced. I remember my father telling him he should write his memoirs, and him thinking about did he have enough to say to do that. Of course I was way to young to really understand the importance of it all, but now wish he had. He was an amazing man, and a wonderful story teller.

So as I stress about the grammar, the spell, the flow and am I being entertaining, I now realize it doesn’t matter. It’s more about preserving the event, and while all that stuff helps in the preservation, if I let it get in the way…. There won’t be any thing to preserve. I am no longer going to stress about what I have to say or how it is said. I am going to document the important stuff to me.
Some day I might be able to share it with my grandchildren.
