Taking the plunge

Ok. It's official. This is my first blog. Do I have anything to say? Is it worth saying? Maybe. Maybe not. Some times I think it's pretty presumptuous of me to think that anything I write is worth reading by anyone. Then at other times I think that people -or at least some- listen when I talk and blogging is the same. It's just that I usually know who is listening and with blogging I won't know who is reading.

But it's someting I want to try. I've imagined writing since I was a teen. I even majored in English with the idea of writing the great American novel in the back of my mind. I also know I don't have the discipline to write a novel. And if I fail it won't be the first time I've tried something and it didn't turn out. One can look at my sewing room and see lots of evidence of this!

I've been getting encouragement from Allison to start a blog. But I don't think it really counts for two reasons. First, she's a blogger and enjoys writing and wants to share her interests. Second she's striving for favorite daughter-in-law status and we all know what we will say or do for that.

So here it is. Enjoy.

  1. Well, good. Now I have another place to secure my status. Leaving comments should count for something, right?

    All I really have to say is: Yay!

  2. Yes, I concur with the fav DIL (daughter in law)...I am one myself. :) Comments should count for something. I LOVE to read what you write about your travels and have often thought you should write a book, "retired people living like us working stiffs would like to" only you would spruce up the idea and make it grammatically correct. :) Will check back often to see what is going on in your neck of the woods.
