infancy of a blog...

It's been almost a month since I started my blog and I already have that bloggers guilt of "oh, I haven't blogged in two weeks now!". I only have 5 posts in my first month! Bad Blogger!

Which is pretty irrational and somewhat hysterical considering I have only given my blog's address to one single solitary person (are you there, my friend?). But it raises the questions that other bloggers before me have had to answer for themselves. Why blog? For whom? When and how do I put myself "out there" as a new blogger? Why would anyone even care to read my blog? How often would I like to be blogging? And how often will I actually blog?

For myself I think the answers will come in time.... and I can answer the first two questions with one easy answer: I am blogging for my own inspiration. So for right now, the answers to the other questions are largely irrelevant. There are no rules here. I will blog however often I blog. I didn't start blogging to add another "chore" to my to-do list. Or to add something to my "worry list". Worrying and being inspired are mutually exclusive in my world. I trust that I will put myself "out there" to other bloggers in my own time, in my own way....

But today, I feel like an infant in this world... a little baby blogger just getting her sense of herself in this new blogging world.... learning to crawl before walking.
