This is my first adventure into the world of blogging. I guess I should explain why I chose to blog in the first place. Well, I have decided that I have a highly unusual need to express myself ALOT and quite frankly, I have worn out any ears that were willing to listen. I think most of what I have to say is important, thoughtful and maybe even insightful but then again, I admit, I think I’m pretty special. Hey, when you get to my age, it’s okay to think that! After all, pretty soon, most of my family and friends might even start forgetting I exist. We are not getting any younger it seems. So why not be my own best friend and if you are gonna have one, she outta be special.
I like the idea of having a place to show off all the stuff I think is pretty neat. Some is my stuff (like the pictures that will be the background for my header) some is random stuff I have recently discovered and some is stuff from my family and friends. I also like the idea that I might have something worthwhile to teach and others can come here to learn. I hope to have all kinds of tutorials. I have many interests and I try to become an expert in all of them and yes, I think I do a pretty good job of that as well. The journey that is my life is full of changes and so I have had to adapt, alot. Now, I know you may be thinking that everyone’s journey is full of changes, but I disagree. Some people seem to go through life and lead a pretty steady course, while others like myself seem to leap off into things only to find out that; a) it wasn’t a good place to leap; b) the most important people in my life haven’t lept with me; c) it was cool at the time, but even I got bored sooner or later. Because of all this leaping, I have a lot of experiences and as I said before, I just gotta share.
So, if you are still with me, better get a cup of whatever you like and relax a bit. I tend to ramble and then again, if you are reading this, you are either the curious type or you need help. I happen to know some good therapists if you are the latter type. I plan to post often, but I must warn you, I am one of those people who’s annual journals start out with daily outpourings and then get spotty for a bit and then pick up pace around the thaw and then it can either be a flurry during the early summer or dry as a bone. Kinda like the weather here in North Idaho. Come along Fall, my favorite time of year, I think its because according to the jewish calendar, it is another beginning, which you will soon discover is what really makes me tick. I LOVE do overs! I’m not Jewish, that I know of, but somethings pertaining to the culture just resonate within me. Anyway, around Fall, I feel the need to purge and plan and I get really excited until mid November when I have worn myself out and need to just focus all my energy to make it through the Holidays.
Well, so there you have it. Why I have lept into blogging in as small a nutshell as I can manage. I am sure that once I hit send or whatever you hit to get these words to appear, I will think of a ton of other things to say. Most likely, I will post another post pretty soon to continue the explanation and then again, I might get so busy tweaking this thing and trying to become an expert blogger that I won’t write a word for a day or so. Of this I am sure, I will always keep you guessing, at least I will try.
Until then, May the Lord keep you and bless you.
