My Very First Blog

So, I've been thinking about doing this for a while now. Sometimes I get the urge to just write something. So I'll grab a pen, sometimes a nice, new note book, and I'll sit down and then..... nothing. What the heck do I have to write about that is so dang important anyway?

So I sit there, book open to the first page, pen in hand, and I try to think of something to write. Most of the time, I start out introducing myself, as if I were talking to someone for the very first time and they REALLY want to know my life history. As you can imagine, I get pretty bored in a hurry.

Once or twice, I've actually had a purpose to write. Whether its a 4th step or just to journal to get things out of my head and down on paper so I can shut the committee up and think clearer. That lasts a little while, perhaps a week or two, and then I lose interest. Or I get busy. Or I just plain forget for a few days. Then I feel guilty because I've spent money on a nice new notebook and another pen (I love pens!) and its all gone to waste. So I shove the lot of it into a drawer somewhere and forget about it.

Perhaps that will be the fate of this blog space I just spent time to set up (not that it was hard or took any amount of time!). Perhaps I'll write for a few days, or make a couple dozen entries and then just let it fall to the side. Who knows.

But for now, here I am. And here is my blog space. Who knows what it will end up looking like when I've finished with it. Who knows how long I'll keep it up before losing interest, or getting too busy, or forgetting for long stretches of time. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
