Welcome!
Welcome to whybother. What’s with that name? Well, why bother? Why bother publishing details of your life on a website? There are some really great blogs out there, but the question in my mind has always been: why bother? So, I’ve decided to find out.
Who am I? My name is Tracey. I am a mother, to 10 year old Mollie. I am a wife, to Darren, and a daughter to Val.
I live in a thriving metropolis called Cessnock, about two hours north west of Sydney, NSW, Australia. I am prone to more than a hint of sarcasm. There is nothing thriving, nor metropolitan about Cessnock! Put it this way, when we got our own Big W, it was the highlight of most people’s lives, the ultimate in entertainment and a real mark of our community’s coming of age. To this day, the carpark is chockers for every waking moment of Big W’s day. I guess the next biggest event in the life of Cessnock was the coming of Aldi. You can really measure a town’s worth by whether or not they have an Aldi. It really does leave Coles and Woolworths for dead. Let’s face it, anyone can have a Woolies, but only a very select few gain access to the dizzying heights of an Aldi. You really know you’ve arrived when a German multi-national chooses to invest in your town. Does it get any better than this?
So, I’ll leave it there for now. I’ll keep in touch, and let you know what I think of blogging. Maybe I’ll reach my own understanding of why people do, in fact, bother! Go with angels.
