Endless Possibilities

I think starting a blog is a strange undertaking...I feel like I have to say something profound to start out. Reader beware...I am not sure how profound you will find this...so read on and you can decide for yourself.

I have been reading blogs for quite awhile now and have been encouraged to start my own (thank you, Alix, for pushing me out of my comfort zone). I have actually toyed with this idea before, but just couldn't bring myself to do it. Like I said, I feel like my writing needs to be something profound or deep...and I just don't know if I would describe my life that way. I have decided to just go with it and see what develops. I hope you will join me and learn with me about the "Possibilities of Me."

One more thing I have to put out there before I begin my blogging life...this is a positively terrifying experience for me. Journaling has always been a part of my life, but it was handwritten. And private. No one read it but me. Writing has always been cathartic and I am curious to see how blogging compares. Obviously, the biggest difference between a journal and a blog is privacy. Anyone will be able to read this...I am really putting myself out there, which could be good or bad. Putting myself out there, for anyone to see/read, is frightening. Really, really scary.

I am so excited about the direction my life has started to take and I feel like this blog is one more part of the journey. Please join me as I discover not only the possibilities of me, but of what life has to offer.

He He....... I don't know if you have the same quotes on your page, Abe..... but this is the one that was there for me.....

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

Very apt for you, me and Johanna!!
