This is my first blog, my first post. I've barely even looked at other blogs. I always felt too snoopy. I knew I could use my time better. I didn't like the randomness and it all seemed very self-centered. But I caved. And I think I'm going to like this!
How can I resist this challenge? I'm a conscientous person who strives to be authentic, especially in my writing, yet I feel pulled down by my own simplistic thinking (I am a mother to four young children!) and automatic, cliched responses (sorry, I don't know how to put accent marks above letters--yet). This blogging business will force me to think more clearly about what I believe before leaving the keyboard, something I don't have to do when I simply journal in private.
Okay, time to go tweak this thing.

welcome to the blog world! i am beyond excited to see you giving it a whirl. you're emails and letters are always something i look forward to.
blogs can be whatever you want them to be. part journal, a way to have fun, show off the kids, make people think, or make them giggle. blogs can be boring. they can be conceptual art. they can also be an interesting self journey.
you've got a lovely writing style and a unique take on life. i'm happy to see you sharing it!
Thanks Jennifer!
I feel the old writing vacuum creeping up on me, sucking every other thought out of my day and making me its slave. must go blog, must go blog, must go....
