What kind of blog do I really want?

We're almost at the end of February, and I have a total of two posts on this new blog of mine.  (Ok, this one makes three.)  I think of many topics I want to blog about, but then the doubt creeps in and I think, "would anyone really want to read that?"  I know this is not the way to go about it.  I know I truly want to blog for myself...so why do I keep doubting this whole blogging experience?

I follow a handful of blogs.  Some are exquisitely written and full of beautiful photography, while others are just the author's rambling thoughts.  Some pull at my heartstrings while others make me laugh and smile - even hours after reading them.  And some are so full of advertisements that I can't tell if I'm on a personal blog or at some commercial site. (I get that some people actually earn a living doing this.)  So here I am -- stuck in a rut before I've really gotten started.  I want to make a difference in peoples' lives, yet I hesitate to put my thoughts on paper (well, actually the screen). Heck, at this point I still don't know how to do anything more than publish a post and insert a photo.  I want this blog to be worth my time and more importantly, worth the time of those who choose to read it.

When you take the time to read someone's blog, what makes you say, "That was worth my time"?  Do you feel that blogs should be tailored to a specific audience?  If you're a blogger, how did you pick up steam when you started your blog?

This quote spoke to me, and I instantly thought of my developing blog.

Stay Strong

Being strong doesn't mean you need to do everything on your own...Sometimes being strong means allowing people to help you.  Whether you are tired or injured or overloaded with commitments, find STRENGTH in numbers and welcome the help.

When I first started this post, I had been dealing with a slight injury for two weeks, and although it was not easy, I had to surrender my "I can do everything" attitude and allow my family to help me.  This was not an easy task for me, but it was ultimately the best for me.  Here I am now, three weeks later, back in training mode, back to doing all that I can do.  Not only do I feel stronger, but ever more grateful for my healthy body.  And let's face it -- when Mom is happy, the entire household is happy!

Time to Begin..

Here I am...ready to begin...
