Blogging
My sister over at her blog "tagged" me (I guess is the term) to take part in a "5 Reasons You Blog" post. She's tagged me a few times before and I never take part because...well...it's just not really my thing (not why I blog!). I guess I'll throw her a bone and take part in the request tonight. But before I do that I want to share with you why I enjoy reading the blogs of others.
Some blogs motivate me to get off my arse and do something more for this world than I am doing now. Avery's blog falls into that category. Just read the latest entry and you'll understand the gift this man has for writing and motivating others to make this world a better place than we found it.
Some blogs inspire my spirit. They remind me that God has all of us in the palm of His hand. Check out Barbara's recent sent of inspirational posts to be inspired.
The authors of some blogs touch my heart in ways that only adoptive parents can touch another adoptive parent's heart! DawnZ's recent post had me in absolute tears as I remembered the first few days with our children, and Anteneh's Mom's most recent post speaks out the words that are in a lot of our hears about our children's origins.
So...my sister's "tag" asked me to list the top 5 reasons why I blog. Here ya go sis...
5. I blog because writing organizes my brain. It's like a reboot for my system. The act of writing, many times, helps to to realize how I feel about things. In short--writing is therapy for me. =-)
4. I blog because I have always kept a journal during all of our adoptions. This is Bright's adoption journal--much easier than the hand written variety. Believe it or not, the content is pretty much on par with my other adoption journals. I don't want to edit myself from my children. They'll all get their journals when they are much older.
3. I blog because I want to bring more attention to the need for families to adopt Africa's orphaned children.
2. I blog because I hope that some of the experiences I've had over the last six years in the "adoption world" can in someway touch parents who are new to this and want to know what it's really like to adopt.
1. I blog because I hope that, in some small way, every once in a while, my words might motivate, or inspire, or touch the hearts of those who take a moment to stop by and see what's happening in my world. =-)

I know you don't usually play the bloggy games. I thought you might do this one though since it is just asking why you blog, and that might be useful to Bright in the future. Anyway thanks for playing and I won't tag you again...lol.
Love ya
