A friend of mine recently started a blog. It's really good, and well worth giving a looksy....www.garykunich.blogspot.com. It's reminded me that roughly five years ago, I had one going myself, which I had completely abandoned. As I read through my old posts, I had to swat the memories away like so many bees buzzin' 'round my extra-large head (size 7 & 5/8, for those of you scoring at home). What a time capsule it was; lots of angry, anti-Bush tirades and stories about being annoyed by people in general. I'm in a slightly different place now, so I figured I'd take another shot at waxing Miyagi's car collection. I hadn't even finished typing that last sentence, before I realized how dirty it sounded. Maybe this is a bad idea.
My wife has also been putting together some ideas for her own blog, which, from what I've seen, looks to be a really worthwhile collection of stories and inspirational quotes. She's had some health issues crop up in the past few years, and I think she wants to make her blog a place where people with similar problems can go to get in out of the rain. I'm glad she's doing it. She's a very creative person who doesn't get much opportunity to be creative. I'm proud of her.
Lastly, the idea of blogging again has really appealed to my current sense of legacy. I'd love to know what my Dad or my Grandfather were thinking as they made their way through life. Someday, I'll tell my daughter about this online journal, so that she can get a sideways peek into her own family history. It's a little more personal than if a third person was recollecting what I was like. As for me, even just writing this "Hey! Remember me?" post has left me feeling more positive and calm. Onward.
