No, it's not Thanksgiving. I finally carved out some time on this nice day to start a blog. Something I have been wanting to do for some time. A few things held me back; 1) I'm not sure what I'm doing, 2)who wants to read what I have to say, and 3) time.
In response to the first, you take a cue from Nike and, "Just Do IT!" It won't be perfect and it may be riddled with mistakes, but I have learned it's easier to take things in small bites or pieces,instead of trying to get everything out there at once and make it perfect. Just take one piece at a time.Then one day it all comes together and you have a blog. Albeit, it took me a few months to post after registering and giving my blog a name.
Responding to the second, as I evolve in this world of blogging, I hope to not just fill it with my musings alone but add links and blogs that will be helpful as we all navigate through this life. I have the good fortune of knowing some really wonderful people with special gifts of communication, ideas,and faith to help keep us moving forward in these days of uncertainty. For that alone it might be worth stopping by.
As with every thing, however, it is time, that prevents me from accomplishing all I have to do and want to do in any given day. Time has been defined as the continuum in which events occur in succession from the past to the present and on to the future. As a wife, a daughter, a mother of five grown children, nine grandchildren,over 14 nieces and nephews, friendships, work, and church, there are many events occurring in my life, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
However, as with most of us, life is busy and, it's always something, that will take our time. It comes down to looking at the 24 hours were given and making sure we carve out a little time for ourselves to do what it is we want to do. Whether it's painting, exercising, fishing, writing, reading, or blogging.
Charles Buxton said it best,"you will never find time for anything, if you want time you must take it." That's what I hope to do, sharpen up my knife and carve out some time to blog and I hope you stop by now and then.
Blessings,
PS. Happy Birthday, Philly.
