I went back and read my very first post on my blog. Hard to believe I have been blogging since 2008! That's 3 years. That is 3 years of our life here. It's 3 years of a diary of my family's day to day happenings. Over the past 3 years I have had the pleasure of reading many blogs... some focus on fashion, some on home improvements, some are craft related, some of you are like myself and just blog about your day to day life. Some of you I know personally and some I don't. I think if you are like me it's just a way to keep up when i can't hardly remember what I did yesterday.
My blog is for my own personal use. Not to brag about my life, good or bad, but just to remember what we have done... who we have done it with.. How our lives have changed so much over the past 3 years.
I hope over the past 3 years I have not been offensive in any of my posts. I don't think I have. I have written about my FAITH and how GOD has worked in our lives. If that is offensive to any of you, I cannot apologize for that. I can only pray that HE would work in your life and that you would have that FAITH as well.
Some blogs I have read have made me sad. Blogs about loss of children and loved ones. My heart has broken for you.
Some have made me most joyful for the addition of children that have been prayed for for YEARS!!! And in GOD's PERFECT timing that addition was made to your family. AMAZING!!
Others I have read have made me sad realizing that words were written in a manner that was meant to be hurtful to others. I have always thought it's your blog and you can write about what you want... but really to write words that would only hurt somebody's feelings?? My feelings have been hurt... friendships lost.... I have written posts only to leave in the SAVE NOW. Just writing it made me feel better but I didn't need to put it out there for others to read.
I write tonight wondering if it is time to make Just Another Day on the Bay my own private journal. Just a thought. If I do and you truly want to stay in the loop Hollah and let me know. It's not a done deal. Just a thought! You can still find me on FB doing my day to day as well, running, working out, teaching, cleaning, taxi driver, cook, scrapbooker, pool goer, sun lover, enjoying days/nights with my friends and family, you get the idea.
But for now I leave you wishing you a fabulous week, doing the things you love, with the people you love.
Sweet dreams!!

That's a tough decision. I wish my blog were more anonymous.... I feel too many people I know read it. Not that I write about people or gossip, sometimes its just plain weird, you know?
Seems to me being offended by or not liking a blog would be a one time thing.....move on! Don't visit that site again. We know some people are offended by almost everything, their glass is always half empty and their 'reading between the lines' can be very inaccurate. Our words may not always be a good reflection of our hearts - that is the shame of this electronic age. To truly know a person you must SEE HOW THEY LIVE. If you enjoy 'journaling' in this way, don't stop. As your mom who delights in my visits there I would say "Please don't stop!'
