Trying to keep up with the posts

So I haven't posted anything since Thursday of last week so I figured I had to write something to keep up with my blog. I think that without touching bases with it I will probably lose touch altogether and that would defeat the whole purpose of keeping a blog. Yes there are probably some who feel that only thoughts on specifics are worthy to be blogged....well I think in this case I'm going to say I'm not one of those people. I've thought about things since I last blogged but not actually felt the need to record them. On second thought, maybe I am one of those people. And another thing is that I'm still a little unsure about divulging every part of me online because it is open to everyone and anyone could just stumble across it and read it. Not saying that I'm especially offensive, but there are times when I feel the need to express every emotion and thought in my head. Perhaps this is why blogs can't completely take the place of personal diaries. Maybe that's not the intention though. I kind of like having my private journal even though it is a result of the ancient technology of handwriting, which seems to be more and more ancient every day. Do they still teach kids cursive in elementary school? I know that I had to learn cursive but I can't remember how to write it very quickly or with beautiful penmanship like my mother's for example. Part of me wishes I could, but who would I write? It takes so long to get a letter to someone outside the state and those who I would bother to handwrite letters to are out of state. I wonder if anyone else thinks of these things or if it's my grandmother's insistence on the personable nature of handwritten letters that has led me down this contemplative path.
