why do i want to blog??

this is my first attempt at blogging, it is my attempt to reconnect with ALL of my family since the divorce which cut off the precious conections i held dear to my heart. its been 4 yrs since the divorce and i feel my kids, my family slipping away. I used to be the head coach in their lives, participating with all i had in their lives. as they all have grown up and moved on, i have been reduced to not even a occasional spectator in their lives. so if i can reconnect thru blogging then my attempts to reconnect will pay off...i hope
