Why am I creating a blog?

Several years ago, one of my closest friends invited me to read her blog. What? A blog? What's that? I started reading her blog and was hooked. Of course I was hooked, she was my friend, and I enjoyed reading her thoughts and seeing pictures of her cute kids. But then I started noticing links to blogs listed on her blog that she was reading. I started following those blogs, and then I started following blogs on those blogs, and so on. I've enjoyed reading and learning from those who blog. I've found a wealth of information and inspiration while reading them. I've found homemaking and gardening tips, recipes, crafting ideas, travel information and many other useful things.

So, why am I creating a blog? I'm not a writer, and I really don't have anything interesting to say. My kids are grown, so I don't have cute toddler pictures to post. I think, maybe, I'm doing it to see if I can. Will I be inspiring or clever? Probably not, but wish me luck!
