Me, "The Blogger".......... go figure!

This blog started as a way to write my life story for my children, and their children, and so on.  I had thoughts to write a little history of my grandparents, and my parents, and then on to me and my story.  All for my posterity, hence the name Past/Present to Future.  It was a closed blog, only my children allowed to view with a password. That is so me!  Certainly wouldn't want anyone else to read things about me.  I proceeded with that plan.  Then I posted "The Journey" and something started happening, something unexpected.  I liked what I wrote.  I liked that I could put some thoughts on paper and actually want people to read it.  It seemed somewhat liberating.  This was new stuff for me, expression vs suppression, wow!  I started to feel like I might want to open my blog and actually write some things other than the intended "family history" type stuff.  They say writing things down helps to bring clarity, you know that right brain, left brain kinda thing.  I can't say I understand it, but I feel it.  I also feel a sense of what I call "non-progression" with the status quo of not putting my self out there (suppression).  So maybe the inner me is trying to tell me something here.  Maybe I need to step out of my comfort zone and not be afraid.  Wow, "AFRAID", that's a big word.  Afraid of what?  You know, I can't even answer that question, so maybe there really isn't anything to be afraid of.

So now the dilemma....the name Past/Present to Future.  Well, this is still for my posterity and the reality of anyone else actually reading this is slim.  But maybe there's a bigger picture here.  My past and my present to my future......hmmm, moving forward.  We're all moving forward, or are we?  Well, at least, time does march on, but am I really moving forward, or am I stuck in the past (suppression)?  I think the name is still a very good fit and will do for now.  I think opening this blog is a small step into my future (expression).  And if there is anyone out there reading this blog, I hope you enjoy.  I hope you find something that may help you to move into your future self as well.
