It's true. I'm blogging. I blog.

Am I the last blogger in the world? I swear I think I'm the only one who has been holding out -like the few friends I have, two of them exactly, who have been some of my closest friends in the world, who refuse to get on Facebook. Yep, I'm like them. Except I caved. I knew what I was missing out on -the opportunity to do what I have felt for a long time I should do, since, well, let's see, I only have an English degree and I have only written about a million papers. Maybe it took me this long to recover from the books that were thrown at me on a weekly basis from my college professors that each required a minimum of five pages (if I was lucky), most of the time eight to ten. Maybe I saw all the wonderful blogging being done by my friends and family and didn't think I had all those creative posts in me. Maybe I was too busy. Maybe.

After each new blogger popped up in my life and I faithfully read them all I secretly thought, "I should do that. I should." Ha but that would take too much time and besides I really have worked on my initial blog page for over a year. I never was fully satisfied with how it looked (that remains true) so I didn't think I could actually post something until it was perfect. My sister Julie's blog is so put together and so fun to read. I felt like it would never happen. But that is just like those people who never do start to excersize because it just seems too hard and they're too busy! A person needs a tipping point! I 'd love to know what tipped my faithful blogging peeps to start their blogs. I bet they are interesting stories. Well, yesterday it happened. My tipping point.



 
My sister Lori started blogging yesterday. And it hit me as I read "A Beautiful Mess" and loved every word she wrote and all her pictures that it was time. Yes, I'm copying her. And Julie. And Kaerlig. And all the others. I love the fact that you can see and feel from someone's heart what is going on in their lives in the unique way that only blogging reveals. May you enjoy this blog as much as I have enjoyed all of yours.
 
Much more soon!
 
Love,
 
Cheryl
