Day One... almost

So here I am... attempting to blog once again. I started one about 10 years ago, but never remembered to keep up with it, so it sort of fell by the wayside. 

This time is a little different. 

Ten years ago, starting a blog is just what you did. It was trendy and cool, and proved to the world just how creative you could be. And to be fair, there are a LOT of blogs out there that are just that - people who found an amazing outlet for their literary creativity. They had something to say, and were able to contribute to the discussion of whatever topic they had chosen with wise, witty, and/or wonderful musings.

So I tried. And I got bored. I couldn't focus long enough to write anything that I felt was worthwhile.

See, ten years ago, even though my life was full of stories to tell, and I was learning new and wonderful things, I don't think that I was in a place where I was able to fully reflect and ARTICULATE much. I was so busy living and learning, that my brain wouldn't slow down for the processing.

Lot's of things can happen in ten years.

Enough, in fact, that now I understand the value of taking the time to process and share. 

Will I be able to articulate things any better, or say more than I did ten years ago? Who knows! But I'm hoping, as I start to use this blog to sort out thoughts and express ideas, that I learn.
