DeleteI think I blog now for several reasons. One being that I want to keep the creative part of my brain sharp. I also use it as our life/travel journal and documented. I find I remember things differently when I put it in writing. I also love the community of the Ultimate Blog Challenge. Sadly, that goes quiet between challenge months.
