My First Blog

Okay, so I have finally given into the pressures of my peers to start a blog. I guess it's taken me so long to agree because rarely do we ever think that what we have to say or blog in this case, matters to anyone but ourselves. Yet i am finding this to be untrue. Have you seen the millions (literally) of blog postings scattered all over the Internet? You can gain another's perspective on just about any topic you want including, sushi, training your pet, naming your child, places to vacation, parenting, health advice, farming, fashion and there is even a blog that explains " a million things you can do with matches". Would you believe this blog has over 2,000 followers? (I think I'll pass on that one.)

Truthfully, it flatters me to think my friends look forward to hearing what I have to say. Let's face it, I have trouble getting my husband, (the love of my life) to listen to my ideas and thoughts. Maybe he isn't as open to my ideas because I seem to have an opinion to share with him weekly.  Okay maybe daily, .......well let's say hourly. (haa!) But in the "blog world" you and I have the privilege to control whose blog entries we subscribe to. I love that we can be picky about who's words of wisdom we desire to follow. It's really pretty amazing.

So with all that being said, I don't claim to be an excellent writer by any measure, personally I would rather sit down with you and chat over a cup of coffee. But since I can't, might as well become a blogger and share my thoughts with you this way.  

My intentions for creating this blog are pretty simple: I hope to inspire some, encourage many, and bring a smile to everyone who needs one. Wish me luck!
