Jumping in

I've been toying with the idea of starting a blog for a while now. I certainly read enough of the ones floating around on the web already, so I thought I might contribute. Except I was never sure of what to say or what it would be about. I thought 'does the world need another blog?' Initially my answer was no, but 3 other questions popped into my head- 'does the world need another tree planted?' 'is it that important to recycle?' and finally 'did I really need to eat that last cookie?'

The answers to those questions respectively are yes, yes, and probably not but it was good while it lasted.

So last night as I lay in bed waiting for my eyelids to get heavy enough to stay closed, I came to my decision that yes indeed I would start a blog. Did this immediately put me at ease into a deep, untroubled sleep?

No it freaking didn't.

I immediately started coming up with the words you are reading now, a title for the blog, what the layout would look like, etc. I got so excited about it I almost jumped out of bed and fired up my computer.

See, I enjoy writing a lot. I am a huge advocate of getting thoughts out of your head and onto the page (or screen) as this will hopefully leave space for something more useful or productive. Also I remember things better if they are written down. I have a lot of ideas, ponders, and both shallow and deep thoughts bouncing around in my head. I find once they are written down, whatever they are, I just feel better.

I can't tell you what you can expect to find here because I'm not sure myself. But I can tell you that I was excited about a new project and that I was writing again and it felt fantastic.

I apologize for any errors, both in grammar and in judgement in the future. I was always better at spelling than I was grammar, and as for the judgement thing...I'll get back to you.
