In honor of all the guest blogging festivities over at my place, Misty invited me to come guest blog for her. Unlike my own site, which is more or less a bunch of ramblings and nothingness (they've given me the title "supernothing" for this reason), A Forest of Thoughts actually chronicles things of the productive nature, be it the development of Misty's site/magazine, Crescent Moon, or her placings at her many Irish Dance festivals. As I can neither relay the activities of her site, nor tell you what's been going on in her life, I won't try to compete.

I'm just here to blog about blogging.

My blog has become an increasingly important part of my life. Not only does it allow friends and family to keep in touch, but it also allows me a place to vent my feelings, with the option of editing them before they are released to the public. Yes, I do indeed think at various times throughout the day, "I should blog about this". Of course, few of those things ever make it to the big screen, but the important thing is that I recognize them as 'blogworthy', or something worth immortalizing in type.

I find it to be the best way to determine whether I am living things to their potential. I could live a whole day full of wonderful activities, or even an entire week of them, only to return and say "I can't blog about this". Or perhaps I could stay home the entire week, living off of stale food and my cd player, and when I sit down at the computer, perhaps I would have some wonderful revelation to tell, something worth saying.

I'm not trying to say I would rather spend my life eating stale bread or anything, but isn't it obvious that there's got to be something different in my attitude towards life? I can live the most boring day to it's full potential, and enjoy it. But only if I put my mind to it, only if I have a good attitude about it. Wake up each morning saying "I'm going to have a lot to blog about tonight".
