Joining the 21st Century


Wow . . .I'm now officially blogging - feels a little weird. I'm not a real trend follower, let alone a trend setter so I feel like I'm joining in a few years too soon to this type of thing! :-)
I'm also the one who edits her writing in her private journal for fear of someone finding it and reading it - my will must include a stipulation that all my journals must be BURNED . . . so I'm not sure why I think writing in this way is such a great idea. I also don't think I'm a very good writer - your are now officially being warned that you will find no great and profound crafting of words here! I read my friend's (that great and wonderful family of Texans - you know who you are!:-)) blogs with such amazement at how they express their thoughts, feelings, ramblings, and struggles so eloquently and beautifully. So why am I here? Why am I adding yet another load of words and ideas and information to an all ready overloaded society? I don't know - because I can?! Because we all long to show our truest selves, our deepest thoughts and longings, and have someone listen without judgement or contempt? Frankly, I don't care if anyone reads this - I can't even imagine who would want to . . . but it doesn't matter - I still get to pour out my heart, my thoughts as crazy as they may be with at least an imagined ear listening on the other end.
So here goes . . .
