Privacy

I'm a semi-private person. I wear my heart on my sleeve but do like to keep some things hushed. Not a lot of things though. Usually just things I am still trying to figure out in my own head and haven't gotten the nerve to talk about. My blog has helped me with that a few times. It has been a gateway to new friendships and strengthening old. It is a journal that I share with everyone, no one and anyone who will read it. I put it out there to brag about my ridiculously good looking family, share thought that need a soapbox and hopefully inspire and encourage someone. And it serves those purposes well. But I'm getting nervous. I'm nervous about the risks. I try to be cautious but I am no computer genius and don't know how I can keep my blog open and public and insure my family's security at the same time. I'd like to live in a world of bliss and believe that no one could really care enough about me or that my blog isn't grabbing anyone's attention enough to catch any peeping eyes, but I just don't know. I mean, I think we're pretty awesome, so I'm sure there could be someone else out there who agrees...I just hope and pray that everyone that reads my blog, whether it's just one time or regularly has the best of intentions. So while I'm still thinking about going private or not, I'm going to take a cue from another blogger friend and ask that you just leave me a comment if I may not know you, and if you just come by every now and then but aren't a follower, click the follow button just so I can see who's reading. It might help quiet my inner nervous person. And I'd like to take the chance to thank those of you who do come by and read and I hope that I have in fact entertained, inspired, encouraged, and of course made you all green with envy when you see my ridiculously good-looking family. ;)
