Why the new blog?

So... I keep thinking how I should spruce up my xanga page and start writing on it again. But then I decided that I might as well just start over with the whole thing and went with blogger instead. One of the main reasons for getting back on the blogging bandwagon is that I am feeling rather isolated and closed off. Whenever I talk to family or friends it's more to catch up than to actually talk about what I'm thinking or feeling about anything. That combined with having very few close friends actually living near me, has left me with the feeling that my relationships are becoming less and less real. As much as I like sharing everything on my mind with my wonderful husband, I think he and I both would be happier if I could do that with more than just him :).
