Another Christmas has come and gone. So often I find myself commenting on how time flies. The space between each blog entry is filled with so many happenings. It's hard to pick and choose what's worth sharing. I try to balance this blog between my own day to day life and information I feel is worth reading. I hope that the day to day stuff eventually becomes as worthwhile as the informative articles I type up.
The difference between an internet blog and a personal journal is simple: the audience. By publishing my posts online, it opens my life up to readers. Rather than just recording memories and feelings, I'm trying to collect a following. Or at least, I think that's the idea. Maybe that's a little too narcissistic.
I want to take things I find interesting, useful, important, or inspiring -- and I want to share them. And in a selfish way, I hope that stories from my own life will fit into that collection.
It will take time. I have a lot of big dreams and goals to accomplish over the next few years. My mushing adventures are only just beginning. I want to buy a house with a generous portion of land so that I can begin my homestead. I want to raise backyard chickens. I have so many things to cook, so many pictures to draw, and so many photographs to take.
As 2011 comes to a close, I can't help but look back at all the changes it brought. Most good, some bad, but all necessary. Bring it on, 2012. I've got this.
