I got a couple of them this Christmas – the “catch-everybody-up” Christmas Newsletter. I have mixed feelings about them – some of them I look forward to reading because they are family or really interesting but some others can be rather tedious. Now I am questioning my blog. Don’t blogs fall into the Christmas Newsletter category – a really long, unending, irrelevant, pseudo Christmas Newsletter? Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your opinion, I don’t plan on stopping my blog. For me my blog is a nice way to journal my journey thru retirement. It helps me remember (you know…. that age thing) what I done and felt while traveling and it is way easier than a diary. I really dread having to write anything by hand, it just doesn’t feel natural to me anymore plus the paper doesn’t have a spell checker and editing a paper diary is a much harder.
Side Note: Zac (who is visiting for the holidays) just announced that my blog was worse than the Christmas letter cause the Christmas Newsletter only comes once a year. I guess that means my own son doesn’t read my blog…. Nicole says that reading them is like homework. That’s OK, remember I do it for myself. Don’t forget..you can always dump my blog into your spam box if I fall into the tedious reading category. I think I would rather be ignored than thought as tedious – No hard feelings though …. honest!
