Which is sort of astonishing.
I had some thoughts on blogging and self-indulgence versus self-awareness. Narcissism versus living an examined life. Blogging as part of a practice (of art, of writing, of parenting). Blogging as a way to build connections and community with others on a similar path.
But instead, I think I'll just say a great big THANK YOU to those of you out there who read this blog regularly and those who just pop in for a visit now and then, to those of you who have been here from the beginning and those who just landed here after typing "blogging and narcissism" into a search engine. Because it is about building connections and community and growing together along this path of being human. Thanks for coming along with me.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, whatever it entails, and see you next week with scenes from the long, long weekend!
Happy bogaversary, Andrea. I think blogs are great as a way to connect and put ourselves out there, but I also love mine as a simple family record, perhaps most of all. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
