It's happening....I am becoming a blog junkie. I so enjoy reading various blogs. Since I have started blogging more frequently I have also started venturing to other blogs and I must say I love what is out there. I have tried a new recipe from one blog I follow, become inspired to run from another, and found a group of new moms with amazing stories and great advice. A lot of people are doing truly amazing things and others have such inspiring or triumphant journeys. Most of these people are just blogging about their every day lives and I am sure they don't know that there are strangers or old school buddies that read their words and are inspired or humbled. I complain A LOT! I wish I could say that I am one of those positive people that you meet and feel like "wow she is so sweet and smells of cookies". I am sweet but believe me I am definitely that person you meet that you think "wow she was nice but really to the point".
Well, I have read some amazing journeys through the blogs I follow and I am just humbled. From small things like DIY projects to major things like battling a rare disease with your newborn child....the stories and life lessons have been remarkable. In comparison...something I rarely do because each person's definition of struggle is personal and what may be easy to me is difficult for some and vice versa...but in comparison I have little to complain about and I am reminded that it could always be worse. Even better, these stories compel me to step out of my personal realm and reach out to others by praying or offering words of encouragement or congratulations. We easily get wrapped up in our own bubble that sometimes we forget to step out of that bubble and reach out to people. I am definitely one of those people that get tunnel vision the moment life throws me a few challenges. I become so focused that it is easy for me to isolate myself. I feel like this is changing since I began blogging. Seriously blogging has been one of the best things for me and I am hooked.
