For my children

I've not been maintaining this blog at all. 

No motivation.  Nobody to share my ideas with.  I don't have an intended audience.

That is... until now...

I should share what's going on in my head for my children, so that when they get older, they can get a glimpse of what's going on in my head while they're toddlers/preschoolers.

The downside...  A lot of my paper-based journaling is kinda muddled and poorly thought out and waffling and, essentially, "not a good example."

I suppose that's reality.  Parents are supposed to have an aura of infallibility, right?  Now that I'm a parent, I realize how much my parents, and everyone else, are figuring it out as we go along.

I also realize how as a kid, you think your parent's lives revolve around you.  I mean, that's why they exist, right?  To be your parents? 

Now I see how there's so much going on in life, so many demands and responsibilities and dreams and frustrations.  Children are a major major importance.  But though my worldview has expanded to embrace them, my concerns and thoughts encompass far more than them.

Another worry... How traceable will this be?  I'd like to be anonymous on this blog.  I only want certain people to know who I am.  Who my family is.  So.. I suppose initials will be used, where appropriate.
