One of my favorite bloggers, Alana, recently wrote about why she blogs. You can go read about it here. Her post had me asking myself the same question. Why do I blog?

Here’s a little list of reasons:
1. Having a blog is a good excuse to take pictures of everything.
2. My blog is my safe place. I work really hard to make sure it stays that way.
3. Blogging makes me a more adventurous person. (Hence the name of the blog…) I want to try new things and visit new places so that I have something interesting to write about!
4. Being a blogger has helped me practice introspection. Being able to confront my fears and struggles and the good stuff, too, is making me more self-aware (I hope).
5. My blog has given me the opportunity to connect with other writers and artists and creative people and I think it’s made me more open to learning about new things or ideas.
What about you? What keeps you blogging?
love, elizabeth

I think the biggest reason I keep blogging is because I want to look back and remember how lucky and blessed I am. This is my digital yearbook, and I always want to make sure I remember as much as possible, the good and the bad :)
I love this. I also like the way that blogging helps you connect with yourself. It helps you analyze what's important and what's not, and helps you attach meaning to the important stuff.
i like that lil visual.
I blog because I want to share what little stuff my sons and I do. I can go back and read what we did or how I felt and its amazing. Plus I agree the photos... (:
I love the creative outlet it provides and allows for me to be part of like-minded people!
i love the fact that years down the line i can really have a walk down memory lane ... blogging is incredible.
I like that blogging makes me a bit more accountable for what I post out there... Sure, I can go back and delete old posts that are no longer relevant. But that makes me try to keep it relevant in the first place.
