It was suggested that I continue, as I once did in the past, to journal my more personal thoughts and feelings. I have never been, nor will be, successful in doing this privately. I ceased doing so on here because- well, let’s be honest, it is one thing for people you don’t know to read your personal thoughts. If they hate you for them, think you are silly, or disagree it will not impact your personal life unless you choose to allow that. However, when family, friends, and all other sorts of people regularly visit- for me, at least, that is more daunting. Other folks are the opposite, of course, and I understand that.
So, with xanga’s nifty “protected post” feature I am planning to share most of my personal posts on a very limitted basis. If there isn’t really any interest at all I may give up on the idea entirely. However, if you are a friend of mine or even someone I have known on here and are interested (sorry, being a family member with the exception of my brother Jay’s family pretty much makes you exempt. I’ve got to live with family the rest of my life, and if my penchant for wearing cute pink panties gets out to you… oops! Forget that.
LOL) just drop me a message on here (message option is to the left panel, and if you cannot figure it out just comment me 
). Most of my thoughts are the sort of things a young Christian father and husband of 3-5 years might deal with, along with some unique perspectives being a stay-home Dad. I used to be a lot more open and detailed on here, but the fact is- now my life impacts not just one person, not just two people, but three people total (my Wife, my baby, and myself) so some more discretion is required.
Thank you to everyone who visits. I’ll still be posting as normal, so don’t worry about that. I just might do a little more on the side now.
