I have finally decided to give blogging a go, but the decision was mainly motivated not by some creative outburst of writing ambition or due to some extraordinary thoughts or events happening to me that are worth sharing with the world. No, my main purpose for the blog is to let those who care about me know how I am doing and what I am up to. I am notoriously bad at keeping in touch with people, which is by no means a reflection of my relationship with them. I just have some mental block when it comes to emailing and keeping in touch and feel like it’s a chore (*gasp*) hence never get around to doing it. So it is my sincere hope that those who do still care will stop by and read some of my musings, perhaps leave a comment to say hello and hopefully won’t hold it against me that I am so bad at keeping up friendships.

Some other “birds” I wish to kill with this blogging “stone” is to have a written record of my inner and outer journey through the world to reflect on in the future, to practice journal keeping, develop my writing skills, to comment on my ever mounting Flickr photo collection and to keep account of my travels around the world.
