Lately, in an effort to reach out to the rest of the world, I've been aimlessly wandering about the web visiting random groups, sites and blogs, and I have come to the conclusion that I must be the only one in cyberspace living on planet Earth. For instance, try going to a mommy blog, or try visiting the blog of someone who randomly blogs about life (that's probably me, huh) and they all seem to be living in a magical kingdom where fairies spread twinkledust, making everyone's lives turn out just swell, their children behave angelically, their jobs the happiest place on the earth, their home a sparkling mansion in the sky and not to mention magically making their spouses a joy to live with twenty four hours a day.
Oh my word, I am so tired of hearing about everyone's magically wonderful lives. Granted, after having come from a once very dark place when I'd rather slit my wrists than wake up another day, I now thoroughly enjoy my everday life. I am happy with who Yah has made me to be and I am excited about what He is doing in my life, but whether you serve Yah or not, life is still rife with demands, battles and sometimes seemingly-overwhelming situations.
Please, somebody blog about that.
Are we so insecure and walled up that we can't really tell people who we are. I even found a blog where the blogger took great strides to tell me about her Cadillac Escalade and granite countertops. Come on, do we have nothing else to convey to the world except our material possessions?
Well, I think I'll start by telling you who I really am. Stay tuned, I've gotta go for now.

Hi Kate. Nice blog! You are not alone I tell you. All homemaker feels the way you do at some point in their life and this blogging is a great way to destress. Keep on blogging and smile :) Visit my blog if you like: http://thehaven-earthlingorgeous.blogspot.com/ Take Care! :)
Ha ha - so true. Your profile could have been describing my life. I would rather hear the reality any day than the constant malignant optimism. We need to know its ok to have bad days, challenges etc as well as the good days. My issue is I am a tad to cynical which I try to balance in some way. Can't wait to read more of your blog. Plus, I love your site's colour scheme and the header image is just beautiful. Of course, if its ok to say that without sounding too over the top or pleasant. Ha ha - keep blogging, you have a sense of humour I know I am going to enjoy!!
True, alot of people post about happy things, but I've found I skip over them and go to more realistic blogs. Most of the blogs I have in my reader post about their lives. Some avoid the deeper things and post random events, some post what's really going on - even frustrations and annoyances. I try to keep a balance. I don't want to be a bore, give the impression of perfection, or be incredibly depression.
However, it doesn't matter, because, ultimately, my blog is for me!
