Claiming My Turf

I have finally had the gumption to say that this blog is mine. Not ours, but mine. It's taken a while, but I've done it AND renamed it. This is a personal accomplishment for me because sometimes it can be hard to claim something as your own. Right after I was married, everything I had ever known had gone from "mine" to "ours" in just about one moment. I started to apply the term way too broadly. So now, I feel free to post more openly and honestly, because this truly is my blog. Besides, my dear husband is never going to post anything but he will occasionally be included in my postings. OK so probably more often the occasionally. How about frequently? Yes. Frequently.

I have recently decided that I want to be more correct and clear in anything that I write. It throughly bugs when I cannot understand someones message they type when there is grammatical, spelling and punctuational issues. Being able to communicate with efficiency and clarity is an art that is being lost. We focus less and less on developing personal communication between people. Apparently this is the style of our modern, fast paced and ever changing society. Quick and short messages have been labeled as efficient ways to communicate when really, the perfection of the message and wholeness of it should not be down-trodden as irrelevant and unimportant. So, this Valentines day give the gift of understanding. Write, type and speak with perfection.
