Blogging has been a new experience for me. I have found it to be similar to writing in a journal, yet definitely not private. This blog, Aiti's Thoughts, means Mother's Thoughts in English. Since I am a mother and a grandmother, I wanted to share some of the memories and things that I have learned with my children as well as the students in my class (I am old enough to be their mother). It is possible that some of the things that I have shared could be of help and comfort to those who have read them.
Writing in this blog has also helped me to write more, and along with the all the writing in class has inspired me to start writing again. I have learned how much I enjoy writing in general. When I was young I loved writing and kept a journal, wrote some poetry, and even wanted to write a book. A book is not in the plans unless I get enough stories (personal narratives) together to write a family history book. That actually sounds really fun! However I can see that journal writing is important just as the prophets have taught us.
Overall, writing a blog has been a good experience and I will continue writing in the future.
I have really enjoyed reading your blog. It is always well written and interesting. You should write a book! I've had a similar experience - writing the blog for this class helped me to write more and to remember that I like to write.
