I like to blog for different reasons:
1) I like to learn, I need to learn something new everyday or I feel as if the day was wasted. So when my daughter Jackie called me from Paraguay nearly 5 years ago (I was living in Venezuela at the time) and said, "Mom, I have a blog." I did not like not knowing what one was. I checked her blog out. Loved it, and tried to leave a comment. Next thing I know, rather than a comment, I had created my OWN blog! Still not sure how that happened!
2) I like to meet new people and I love a good debate. Not an argument, just sharing differences of opinion.
3) I love sharing with family and friends. Mine are spread all over the globe, literally! Through this venue we all participate in each others lives in an active way.
4) I LOVE the Lord. This should probably be first, but half of my readers would have stopped reading at that point. LOL tricked you! I want to share what God has done for me and my family even in difficulties, in hopes of blessing others going through hard times.
5) I like to share the GOOD NEWS with people that might not normally hear it. If I reach someone through this blog, just one, I would be thrilled. So many people are open if we present things in a way they can see and feel that the conviction is of God not from me.
6) I love HEARING from everyone who visits. PLEASE, leave a comment. Even if it is anonymous. Just let me know where you are from or whatever you feel comfortable with sharing. I have some LURKERS out there and I would love to know who you are and how you ended up here at my little blog.
7)I have always enjoyed journaling, this is a way for me to record history, with world and family events to remember later...for myself, my children, and grandchildren.
So this is me , the real Jungle Mom ! I am the mother of four and the grandmother of three, and a 40++++ yr. old woman just wanting to talk and have a good laugh, mostly at myself!

Great reasons -- I blog for many of the same reasons.
You blogging has always been a blessing to me since I first came for a visit here.Keep it up, connie
I do follow your blog, but I seldom leave a comment. Lately I've gotten really behind on reading. You seem like the kind of person I would really enjoy in real life.
