At this ripe old age, there aren't many times I get to say that anymore! I mean, really, I am pushing 30 now. I am caught between young and old, between inexperienced and wise. Consequently, when I find something I have never really done before, well, it sort of thrills me. Blogging may not be the biggest thing ever, but it is something.
Now, why on Earth am I starting a blog? I don't have any incredible things going on in my life right this minute. I have a dear friend who has a blog that talks about her adoption journey (here shortly I will get to make that plural!) I follow a blog about a girl who is stepping out in faith in Africa. Boy, is she stepping out. She is 20 with 14 girls who now call her mommy! I know of blogs about struggles with cancer or AIDS. None of those things apply to me. My life is really very boring compared to all those people.
You know what isn't boring? My brain! When I was a kid I was diagnosed as A.D.D. and my brain hasn't slowed down one iota in old age! I am a wisenheimer (whoa- I had to pull out an archaic word to avoid a PG-13 rating!) who noticed really odd things. I talk to strangers and tend to get them to really talk back!
Really, the point of this is for people to get to know my family, to get to know me. My family all lives rather far away and they always have. Now seems as good as time as any for them to experience my days. And, hey, if I run into a few old friends along the way- all the better!
