As I began thinking about blogging once again or even perhaps vlogging, I began to question if what I had to say was worth saying. Will another post simply add to today's noisy world where so many people are talking but so few are actually saying something? Honestly, I don't know. I don't know if my viewpoint on life, family, faith, business, the arts or anything for that matter will matter, but here I go anyway.
So I began to question what am I good at? Ending sentences with prepositions? Check.
I think I'm good and a great many things, but I don't think I am great at any one thing. I imagine I am not alone in this. In a time when our world feels crazy, I began to wonder what could I offer that was of value. Everyone has an opinion so I'm unsure if offering mine adds all that much value to this world. But, as I began to think more, I realized the people who I want to really know what I think about things will care. They are my children.
Now, at this time in their lives, their interest in my opinion varies. My boys are young and my daughter is about to start high school. They will hear my thoughts whether they want to or not. But, I imagine that as they get older and life moves on, they will one day wonder what I thought about any number of things. I imagine they will want to know how to cook a certain dish, how to persevere in faith when you feel broken, how to apologize when you've wronged someone, or any number of things that you wish you could have answered by your mom.
So I write this for them. One day, I won't be able to answer their questions, but they can look back to my writings and videos and hopefully find the answers they seek. I leave this open to others. Maybe what I have to say will have value not to just my kids, but to others as well.
