Wow....as I sit here staring at this big, empty text box, I feel a little bit like I do every time I open the door to the "scrapbook closet" at my house....so much unchartered territory leaves me more than overwhelmed! All of these possibilities lie ahead of me if I would just sit down and start!!
I have to admit that I have been a blog-reader for months...taking sneak-peeks at everyone else's daily life. But, I have finally committed myself to the blogging world. After reading so many friends' blogs, I have come to realize that this is something I just have to try. Like many of you, I want a place where all my thoughts and stories are in one place (besides my head) for my family and friends to read about our life as a family. And, more than anything, for my own children to someday be able to see what daily life for them and their parents was like. I have beat myself up so many times over not having a journal of "the little things" that happen daily around here, and for neglecting to capture those special moments that I notice, appreciate, and then forget because I don’t write them down.
But, the weird part is that all of that has somehow kept me away from journaling or "blogging". As crazy as that sounds, I have never known where to start! But, all of you out there who I keep up with through your wonderfully entertaining blogs, have inspired me to "just start with today". (This might be my new motto, to add to my other favorite of "Be still and know"...can you tell what I have a hard time doing?) So, here I am, with an already not-s0-empty text box, starting with right now, today....
I have learned from this that I can't take some things so seriously (a problem I have quite often, as many of you may know...), but that I should enjoy this time of blogging as a way to capture those little things that matter most! So, I hope this is a great place for me to write the sometimes-too-serious "musings" of my heart and mind, but also the downright hysterical things that happen in this house. There is a whole lot of both around here, believe me!
So, "here's to blogging"!! And, before I get the award for the longest first blog ever, I will go....and I'll be back after dinner!!

I am honored to be your first comment and welcome to the blogworld! It is addicting...
I love it! I am so glad you have joined in the rambling! It's funny how quickly your life becomes about blogging and what you're going to put on your blog for the day. You have started out beautifully! And the other funny thing is that you find yourself wishing this person or that person had a blog. Thank you to adding yet another 10 min. to my blog-time!
