I decided to dig my blog out of archive, dust it off and start using it again to spark my writing juices. As we know digital never truly goes away and I wanted to see if I could actually blog on a mobile device. Low-and-behold I can! The secondary reason to start blogging again is to use while I am in Paraguay with Operation Christmas Child. This will allow me to share my experience real time with my friends and family that helped me make this trip possible. I am hoping to witness a miracle that you so often hear about or at the least see what impact shoeboxes have on the lives of the children that receive them. I’m sure this upcoming trip will have a big impact in how I see these boxes in the future and I’m hoping my stories will have similar impact on my readers.
The other reason that sparked me to start writing again was a book or 3 that I actually picked up at a book store the other day. This prompted me to dig out an obsolete item called a book mark. I don’t collect much, but I admittedly I do have a good selection of these from years passed. Metal etched, laminated with pressed flowers or even a paper one from somewhere I once visited. I predict this will be an item the next generation will not recognize. Much like land line phones, phone booths or typewriters.
I digress, one of the hard backed books I picked up was a writing journal because like my initial hesitancy to start reading my books digitally, I still love to write, not type my musings. Some habits are harder to break than others. I rationalized the digital books downloaded on my phone or iPad for those times I have alone to read my books on the go. With digital books I could read my current book while grabbing a quick lunch by myself or sitting waiting for someone. I don’t always have my latest book, but I always have my phone. Now I have both!
