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.
