Postable Post
October 12, 2007
I have had this blog up and running for two days. Only, no posts. I do not know what it is about having a “blog” that scares me. Well, I do know, it is the idea of my words typed and then shot out into the universe for anyone to read. I am a journal keeper, so you would think that I would feel comfortable with a virtual journal, but so far I am not. Therefore, I am just sticking this post out there, hoping that it will inspire me to blog more about my life. I think this is a good month to start a blog, as it is Down syndrome Awareness month, and I would love for people to become a little more tolerant, a little more aware of others that are different than themselves, maybe even through my musings here.

Thanks, Jennifer! I can’t believe you found me…I didn’t really put the word out yet. Is it OK that I linked to your blog? I’ll write soon.

I’m so glad you have a blog! I was just thinking about you yesterday and thought “I bet Gillian would have a great blog.” Yay!

Now I have to start putting more in my blog, I have the same fear of putting my words out there for all to see, sometimes my thoughts get scary and sometimes they get aggressive, and they are always a bit confused, so I worry about what I would put out there, but in the end, It’s worth it when I just get it out. So, yeah blogging is scary for others too, even people like me who love to hear themselves speak! You’re not alone!

Wow, Gill I loved reading this. I am truly jealous of the way you express yourself and I guess we can attribute that to your years of journaling. Which I always thought was dumb. (until now) As my kids get older I can look back and really see that balloon and where it takes its child as it gets older. Thanks!
