LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Okay.  I’m gonna keep writing, even after my self-imposed end date.  Here are a few of the reasons why:

  1. Many of you have written encouraging notes.  And who am I to disappoint nearly a dozen faithful readers?!
  2. I like writing the posts.  It’s too hard to do it every day, but I like writing.
  3. I love reading about what we were doing last September.  It’s like looking through your kids’ baby books – that is, if you wrote in your kids’ baby books about how much you couldn’t stand them sometimes.
  4. The discipline of writing helps me with the discipline of paying attention.  Stopping to write about what’s happening in our lives means stopping to pay attention to what’s happening in our lives.
  5. Writing helps me process new ideas and reflect on old practices.  Much of what we now do regularly in homeschool came to pass because of the writing I was doing.
  6. I could write without an audience, but I never have.  Without feedback, or at least the hope of feedback, it’s hard for me to write and reflect.

So I’m going to keep writing.  I’m only planning to write once a week after next Friday; so if you want to keep up, you might want to subscribe to the blog.  I’ll send out a note when I post and then you won’t have to miss a single interesting thing I say.

There really is no humble way to tell your friends that you hope they’ll read  your journal, is there?
