maiden voyage into bloghood...

So I'm thinking this blog idea might be good for me. I was inspired by a blog that I came across in an offhand way. My lifelong partner in crime, sister-friend, bff Stacy shared a blog with me about someone who has breast cancer right now. When she called me to tell me about it, she was emotional, and after spending more time that I should have on the computer looking at the blog, I was emotional as well... I was moved by the stories, the music, the pictures and inspired at the same time to go on a journey that I have contemplated for some time- that being..MY own blog.

I'm not a fan of bragging about myself- but I do have a great life. I think you don't have to yell truths about yourself to others, most times they are obvious. I think the only reason that people try to convince others of something, is that really, deep inside, they are only trying to convince themselves... jmho.

I have a great family. I find myself to be blessed. So much sometimes, I have to look at my life and say "really? WOW!" I never- *stress*NEVER* thought my life would turn out like it has. I think I had hopes for a happy life (what girl doesn't) but the road getting there was full of twists and turns and plenty of mistakes on my part. I feel whole, and it's a good feeling.
