Here goes....BLOGGING!

Several good friends of mine are already seasoned bloggers, but I hadn't made it there yet. I have Facebook, Twitter, and (it seems) waaaay too many email addresses. So, why blog?

Well, turns out I found a few good reasons. One would be moving - I eventually want to post house upgrade pictures and descriptions of what we did. Seems this may be the easiest.

But, I will say the reason that REALLY kicked it into gear now was a book. I am currently reading "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years" by Donal Miller. Those of you that know my reading habits know that a) I really don't/don't like to read - this is why I am a math/science girl! And b) that I love love LOVE me some Donald Miller!!!

Anyhow, this book is about your life's story. One of the first things he talks about is how we don't remember much (even) a fraction of our lives and how he has a friend that writes EVERYTHING down, so he remembers...because if he doesn't remember...it's like it didn't happen. That got me thinking about how I don't want to forget my life - or the (sometimes seemingly minor) events that comprise it.

So to the "blogosphere" I go - to share "happenings", to share thoughts, to (hopefully) share some smiles, and to share memories! :)

Happy Wednesday! Smile on!!!
