Baby Steps

Usually I am a woman of many words. But I am having trouble coming up with them at the moment, because I am not quite certain how to begin. For years I have lamented not keeping a diary or journal, but my regret has never extended to the point of starting one. Now is the time. As with many of my endeavors, I have mused about it enough to have a vague idea of what I would like to accomplish . . . BUT! I will just make it up as I go along, because that is often my M.O. Sometimes one just has to jump in! It can't be THAT hard, can it? Sometimes it will be just stream-of-consciousness babbling, but I really want to get into the habit of writing, and I am hoping that blogging will provide me with the forum and discipline I need. If someone gets enjoyment out of my writing, even better. But for now my motives are selfish.

My writing life to date has mainly consisted of correspondence, and I have written many essays, and I have even published articles, some of which I will probably post here. I like the idea of having all of my writing in one spot, so this shall be it. I will most likely post some pictures here as well. I take enough of them. Mostly of my daughter. I saw an article today about a person who takes a photo every day of the year as a visual diary. I like that idea. I often take pictures, but don't necessarily do it daily. One thing at a time. My pictures and writing will most likely be random, but it's a good start!

If you have read this far - Thanks! I will do my best to keep it interesting and may soar past navel-gazing to something worthwhile and entertaining.

Stay tuned.
