Well, this is it. I'm starting a blog. I never thought I'd do this. I've always had a ton of reasons for not doing this. I don't have the time. I've always thought, who wants to read what I have to say? I've read other blogs and people can be mean. The writers are often brutalized for posting their thoughts. I hope that's not what you're planning on doing here. As George McFly once said, I don't think I can take that kind of rejection.
Really, my reasons for starting this are selfish. I just have to put my thoughts out there and hope for the best. I have a lot to say, darn it! I'm going to talk about a whole slew of stuff on here--kids, motherhood, wifehood, military life, current events, books, and who knows what else. If I start to get readers, that would be great. Otherwise, I'll just go on writing and getting my thoughts out there.
In the interest of full disclosure, I should say that this is my second attempt at a blog. My first blog is a little too revealing and probably wouldn't pass the internet safety and operational security rules. Once I filter through the posts and take out any top secret information, I'll start moving them over here as well.
I do hope this someday becomes an interactive blog where readers will share their ideas and thoughts with me. I love the way blogs can help people from all walks of life open up a dialogue. One feature I've added up there is "Question of the Day" where I'll ask interesting (or possibly boring) questions about life and hopefully readers will respond.
I can't promise I'll write every day (or every week for that matter!) but I do hope to make this a regular part of life. If you'd like to know a little more about me, click up there on the tabs. Thanks for joining me. I hope you enjoy the blog.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, the tabs up there didn't work the way I thought they would, and my "Question of the Day" idea seems to have run into some road blocks. Bear with me while I work out the kinks in this new blog. I'll think of something!
