So tonight Sammi was asking me about what her nursery looked like. I knew I had pictures of it, but the question was... Where? The phone I have is only a couple of years old. And when Sam was a baby, I had a Blackberry. So it wasn't likely that the pictures had been carried forward on my iCloud account. Wracking my brain, I thought, yes! I am sure I would have posted photos of the nursery on my blog! So I go to my blog site to see if there are any photos, and, whaaa? I get redirected to a widget site? Exactly how long has it been since I have blogged anyway? Apparently it has been so long that my credit card to pay the annual blog fee had expired and they gave up on trying to remind me to renew it. Also, maybe it has been so long that the word "blogging" now also refers to people who post videos on YouTube and not just these really fun diary-style entries you can read and vicariously follow. I will have it be known that "blogging" (when I started it) was particularly in the written format. Not that I am trying to age myself. When I discovered my blog was deactivated I broke into the coldest of sweat. I have posted several letters to my girls that I intended to compile into a book (which now may just be a pamphlet considering my lack of posting in the recent half-dozen years). But to think all of those heartfelt thoughts might be completely lost? I became frantic. Must. Recover. Lost. Blog. Luckily I was able to start with the basic password reset. It let me in. *Big Sigh of Relief* Then I entered an updated credit card. I *may* get five years worth of charges all at once. I will happily pay it to ensure I can recover my important memories which I failed to write down in a diary because I naively believed that I would blog regularly FOREVER. And so that brings me to today. Several years have passed. Like, so many years, you wouldn't even know my kids. So much has happened in our lives that I have failed to memorialize in a blog, I hope that Facebook never goes down or I may lose like half my memories. And heaven forbid if the picture storage there ever fails!! I've made this promise before (and sadly, I've broken it), but today I am making the commitment to myself to make time to blog. Even if it is just for myself. Today is the first day of forever. Cheers to all that is yet to come!
