I was very discourage today concerning my writing. I had visited quite a few other blogs and loved all that was written. Then that old feeling came up of, I don't measure up, and am not good enough to be writing, and a few other negative lines I bet most folks feel from time to time.
But I had to remind myself, that I was writing for my kids. (Kids?? age 41 and down)
to tell them things that happened in my life and some things that happened in my parents life, and family, as far as I can remember them. So I don't have to be perfect in writing, they will love me anyways.
So if any body elts who might find my writing interesting, your more than welcome to keep reading. To my surprise, I have enjoyed writing.

Never, never, never compare yourself to others. That's a very detrimental habit. If you can look in the mirror and be happy; if you can look to the heavens and be happy -- those are the only ones who matter.
I am a genealogist at heart and there is nothing I value more than the journals of my ancestors. What you are doing is valuable service that will mean so much to your children, grandchildren and so on.
Be pleased with what you are doing. You're following a commandment and enriching the lives of others.
Thank you so much for your incouragement. I needed it.
course, part of that was MY fault. I gave my wom a list of blogs to go see that i like to frequent as her first exposure to the blogging word, and i didn't even stop to THINK about them all being professional authors and writers! LOL...
sorry wom!

Yeah...it's Paulette's fault! {Not Fran's} Plus, you are writing something much more awesome then I am...I am writing a mere novel. You are writing history, eternal relationships that future generations will absolutely covet. You are doing exactly what you should be doing. Keep up the good work, Wom! You can do it!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog entries. I think they were wonderful! Honest, sincere, and full of life! I am so grateful for your friendship and for the opportunity to get to know you better through the things you write. I look forward to your next blog entries.
