Today, I came to Blogger to decide if I should start yet another blog, to document my studies. As a homeschool mom, learning is important to me. My girls all have their own blogs where we document their studies. But a couple of weeks ago, I realized that all my good intentions to keep learning new things don't really happen if I don't document them. When I write things down, it keeps me aware of them.
So I started writing down my own studies, in addition to that of my children. And now I need a place to document them permanently. (Instead of overflowing my notebook with loose papers!)
However, I got on Blogger and realized this blog was in my list. Wait, where did that come from? I literally don't ever remember creating this blog or writing any of the previous posts! At all! And yet, those posts were exactly what I needed to hear today. I'm so glad I wrote them two years ago.
That leaves me with the question of what I'm going to do with this blog in the future. I know myself well enough to not create any expectations or goals for myself. The second anyone, including myself, tells me to do something, I don't want to do it! I'm a rebel like that.
But I'm glad I rediscovered this blog - this little idea I had two years ago. I'll be glad for the reminder to keep working on who I am, not necessarily on what I'm doing. Even in my studies, I need to remember that I'm studying in order to become better. I don't want to just dump knowledge into my brain. I need to do something with it.
And where will I document my studies? Actually, I have another blog for education stuff. It'll go there! :)
