A Purpose for the Blog

I often bypass the idea of regularity in making blog entries. Riding into work last night I heard the advice of Mr. Josephson who speaks on the air about topics related to his "Character Counts" crusade. It was on the idea of leaving behind a legacy to your family. He proposed that one should write a personal account of your wisdom to leave behind. I think he referred to the idea as an "Ethical Will."

I figure if I'm willing to put down my thoughts for anyone to read, I should be able to amass memories and collected wisdom of some importance to the ones I love. It makes the purpose of the blog seem noble. (That may read as *boring* to some). But who knows? I don't always seem to have the answers for getting my kids to be the people I wish they would be (as much as possible that means better than me at many things I still don't seem to be proficient at!) There may come a time when I write down something that will help when my kids are adults.
