I've been dipping in and out of this idea of having a blog. The inspiration for blogging comes from Jenny and Ser, and Nancy, and, tonight, especially Luke. I visit Jenny and Ser at the same time, from time to time. It's always when my kids are either in bed or in their bedrooms, sleeping or reading. Whatever they are doing, they are, for at least some amount of time, not in need of me. That is when I check to see what is on the minds of Jenny and Ser. Through their blogs I can sometimes learn about what's on Nancy's mind. Not what they are doing, but what it is about their day that made them stop and think. It's window shopping into my friend's thoughts. Free. No store hours. No coupons. No planning on the train schedule. Totally indulgent.
I was propelled to take another stab at this Blog thing because I have something to say to Ser about Luke. I also checked Jenny's and can see no posts, which isn't surprising, although I know she has a lot on her mind since she's moving from only two floors down to halfway around the world. She is so funny! Two days ago she was out drinking coffee while wrapped in a blanket to keep warm. I wondered what she was thinking ... maybe take in a bit of cold before heading to Hawaii? Enjoying the view off the Old Porch, believing it would look different the next time she saw it (there's a thought behind that, too).
So here's to shopping through the minds of my blog-inspiring friends.
