Why Do We Blog?

As I have been blogging, I realized something: My teaching background has come through quite prominently and each blog I seem to write has some sort of a lesson embedded within. I always seem to want to teach something or make sure someone gets some sort of positive thing to take away from reading my blog. I have been thinking about it, and it seems quite difficult for me to not do this! So, I am going to challenge myself, and you reader/bloggers (yes, I see the irony here) to try and make a blog post that is just writing, with not instructional purpose. It’s harder than you would think!
