Writing is something I have always enjoyed. I am careful not to say that writing is something I have always been great at or something I am currently great at, because I am not sure that is the truth. In addition, I always think I can do better. I also never felt that people would necessarily like to hear my thoughts and ramblings (youngest child syndrome). Regardless, I have been encouraged to do something with my writing. Usually when I write, it is for myself. I have thoughts I need to process, to mull over, to do something with, and I therefore write them down. Most of the time – nothing comes of them. I am prone to start a piece and begin to hate it midway through my typing. Once in a while – I surprise myself. When I take the time to write my thoughts down, I begin to understand myself and all the rattling in my brain just a little better. So, to encourage myself to write my thoughts down more often, to become better at it, and because it is something I truly enjoy doing – I decided to start this blog. This might be my first post of many, or this may be both the first and the last. Your guess is as good as mine. Here it goes.
