5 Reasons Why My Blog Rocks - PARTY!!!!

I'm gonna be honest with ya here.  There are some days when I think this blogging thing is awesome.  There are days when I love it and feel so much better knowing that I am continuing my journey and keeping my promise to myself.  Then there are the days when (with a bit of pms hormones mixed in) I feel like this whole idea is ridiculous.  There are the days when I am so insecure.  There are days when I cry over silly silly things that on any normal day really don't matter to me, like how many followers I have or why a lot of the ones who say they are my friends have yet to even check out my blog or showed support in any other way.  
Some days it's really hard.  Some days everything seems easier.  Some days.

Today is a harder day than most at least mentally.  I'm feeling drained and in need of a pick me up.  A few of the blogs I read regularly are participating in a blog party.  Sounds fun, right?  

Amanda over at Serenity Now wants to know why I think my blog rocks.  In fact I need to come up with 5 reasons!  5!  

Here goes. 

1.) This blog represents me.  It is a direct reflection of the person I feel I am now, strive to be, and eventually want to be.  It is my daily journal that keeps me honest even when the fear creeps back in.  I write for myself with hopes to connect with even just one other person who might feel the same way, understands what I'm saying or relates on some level to something I've written.

2.) It's the simple things that make me happy.  

Comments such as:

The honesty with which you write is how we should all live our lives. I feel closer to you as I read your posts and share my thoughts and emotions. YOU rock!!!

and

WOW! Your story had me glued!

and 

I was drawn in by your writing 

MAKE ME unbelievably giddy.  I love to write and when I can reach someone or pull someone into a story or a post I feel that my reason for doing this, for being open and honest has been conveyed.  I feel accomplished.  I feel like such a dork sometimes but it really does make me unbelievably giddy.  Isn't life supposed to be about the simple things anyway?

3.)  My Readers.  Up until just recently my followers were mainly friends and family who came here invited by me back in October 2009 and they've stayed.  They stuck by me on this journey and I celebrated 100 posts with them just last Saturday.  They truly ROCK!!  

4.) It's a work in progress.  Seriously, it's an ever changing blog because my daily life is always changing.  I hardly ever know what I'm going to write about until I sit down, pull the laptop onto my lap and start typing.  I think that's exciting.  I'm one of those people who like to peek in on other people, not in the stalkerish way, geesh.  I like catching a glimpse of what someone else might be doing, dealing with, going through, etc.  Everyone feels like they are a crazy person every now and then.  I write about being one for all the world to see.  ;o)

5.) I say it does.  Isn't that awesome?  My blog rocks because I say it does.  And you know what?  I don't need 700 other people to tell me that it rocks to believe it (although that would be totally smuckin awesome). I have a goal to reach 50 followers, it's on my life list.  I believe I will reach it.  I don't mind how long it takes as long as I stay true to myself and continue this writing journey.  

My blog rocks.  Because that's why.

Thanks for inviting me to your party Amanda.
