It's Just You & Me, Blog...

Dear Tabsmom Blog:

It has been too long since you and I had a meaningful conversation about the pursuits of life - career advancement, advocacy, child-rearing, cultural commentary, social commentary, the meaning of life, etc., etc. I apologize for the distance as of late. Blame it on Facebook.

Blog, here it's just you and me, a blank screen awaiting content, wit, insight, photos. If what I compose sucks, oh well. I don't think too many people specifically read this blog. You were created in May 2005 at the onset of my cancer chronicles. You were a bastion of communication and networking, and you saved me many minutes on my phone.

Now, my ADD-rattled psyche is quite at home on Facebook. My urge to entertain, to craft snarky comments, to question and receive answers - all those needs are met by Facebook. To what end are you useful anymore, dear blog? You are the equivalent of an empty journal. The pressure to fill you can be overwhelming.

Ok, not really, dear blog. I'm just busting your stones. I do plan to write a whole lot this summer, now that I have caught up on my rest and shifted my frame of mind. Tabsmom Blog, you are my original on-line home. I could never really leave.

Love, Tabsmom
