Our subject this week is Blogging. A few months ago, I could honestly say I had never heard that word before, now I find myself blogging weekly for the Masquerade of Words and My Garden of Gratitude.
My dear friend Kelly is the one that introduced me to the world of blogging, and she is also the one who came up with the idea of a group of us, with Ankylosing Spondylitis come together to write about different subjects. We have twelve people that are on this project.
I have thoroughly enjoyed doing this, it gets my brain to thinking, plus it also allows me to speak about things that I have kept to myself.
I have always enjoyed being creative in arts and crafts and painting, but they have become difficult to do, so this fills that emptiness inside my soul.
I confided in a close friend about the new adventure I was embarking on. She sat there quietly for a moment and then said, “Cookie, do you HONESTLY believe people are going to read this or care?” I replied, “It isn’t important to me if anyone reads it, it is important to me to write it.”
The blogging is to allow me to let go of the pain and difficult times while dealing with Ankylosing Spondylitis, hopefully one day someone may get something out of it, as I have with others.
My Garden of Gratitude teaches me to find gratitude in life even during the difficult times. I have promised myself to take an hour a day to work on these blogs, I hope to continue doing so for many years to come.
Who knows maybe one day I will help others as I have been helped. So until then I will just keep banging on the keys....
