I forgot I had a blog . . . kind of

Obviously, I haven't written anything for years. How embarrassing is that? But for a while this little blog was the last thing on my mind. And if I'm really honest I probably thought that no one was going to read it so why bother. I'm not the type of person that likes to tell the world -- hey look at me I have a blog. In fact, I'm such an introvert, I probably wouldn't even tell my family and friends I have a blog. I'd rather they just stumble across it. Somehow that's better for me.

But I am one of those people that really enjoys reading other people's blogs. I find it fascinating. I love getting a peek into everyone's day to day. And I find it so brave that people can open their lives up to complete strangers. Or maybe it's easier to tell strangers your innermost thoughts than it is your loved ones sometimes. Hmmm.

So I decided to re-start this blog, for a few reasons. First, I want to be as brave as you bloggers out there. I'm 47 years old. If not now, then when? Second, I've always loved to write and this is one way I can practice it on a regular basis. I've written in journals and done short stories but there's something about writing for an audience (I hope someday!) that makes it different. So I will write about what I know -- my life and all it entails. At least, as much as an introvert will share. But I have a feeling I won't be as shy as I think I will. Blogging gives you a false sense of comfort that I really need if I'm going to open myself up.

Early on, I need to figure out all these new technical things with Blogger so I can make my Blog look better. I don't know a thing about that stuff so that will be a steep learning curve. I'm sure there is a "Blogging for Dummies" book out there that's calling my name. So bear with me while I figure this whole blogging thing out.

And if anyone is out there? Give this girl a shout out so I know I'm not all alone in my journey. Everyone has to start from somewhere. peace.
