Why Do You Blog?

I have seen this question a lot on different blogs lately. And I have answered it quite a few times in the comments...

I started this blog six months and two days ago because I wanted to focus on living my best possible life. I wanted to make sure I made enough "me" time, exercised consistently, and enjoyed life. I also wanted to get more organized and slowly started planning meals. Today, I can't imagine my life without planning meals; it's so much easier and less stressful. However, six months ago, if you had told me that I'd be planning meals, I would have laughed at you...

Soon after starting this blog, I started reading other blogs, and reading and commenting on blogs became part of my day. A part I love. I have learned so much from so many of you! There are so many things I take away from reading blogs every single day...

In the past few weeks, my blog has become my "escape." An escape from a reality I sometimes don't want to face, can't face, am too exhausted, physically and emotionally, to face. My blog is my way to focus on the happy moments in my life. Reading your blogs makes me "forget" for a moment... all my troubles seem so far away for a while... Thank you!

Now here are my questions for you: If you have a blog, why did you start your blog? When did you start your blog? What do you like most about your blog? If you don't have a blog, do you think you'll ever start a blog? Why or why not?

Be well,
Andrea
