Battles

Blogs are like a series of short stories. I find that after a long day at work, and an evening tending to my little man and spending time with my hubby I enjoy crawling in bed with the lap top and pressing the “next blog” button and seeing what I am going to read before bed. Books take commitment, and blogs that I randomly come across do not. I can read a few blog entries and not become so engrossed that I want to read “just one more chapter” before I turn off the lights and close my eyes. It’s just enough down time for me to wind down enough to sleep. I confess I am a little addicted. Although I do prefer blogs of people I know (or used to know for the most part)…there is something to be said for reading a strangers view of the world.

There is a lot of amazing people out there blogging about circumstances that I cannot even imagine. There are mother’s blogging about losing a child, Husbands blogging about their journey’s with cancer. Teenager’s blogging about their battle with depression and suicidal thoughts. Physically disabled people who blog about not making enough money to pay their heating bill in the middle of winter. Mom’s blogging about their everyday life dealing with kids & husbands. People just like me who are battling their bodies every day trying to lose weight.

There are blogs that bring tears to my eyes, blogs that make me laugh out loud and blogs that make me ponder my own life Blogs that inspire me and blogs that change the way that I see the world.

The world is full of brave, wonderful people over coming horrible things. There are good and kind people out there trying to change the world. There are people who ARE changing the world. Everyone has to fight their own battles just like I fight my own battles everyday!
