Here I am

After a year of being an almost-addicted blog reader I have decided it is time for one of my own. This is a big thing for me. I said to myself once I would never write a blog. But last week the face book peer pressure got to me, and I found myself sitting in Joy's kitchen seconds away from signing up. It's so easy to keep up with people, then you can see everyone's photos, etc etc. But i looked around on Joy's page and got palpatations. On my way to a panic attack, you could say. I couldn't do it! What is it about the internet that brings out the recluse in me? You tell me... I drove home thinking it all over. By the time I drove up our driveway I had decided to start a blog. A week ago tomorrow. And here I am.

If you are reading this now it is because I sent you a personal email and invited you to. You are either a dear friend or sister who would love me to be on facebook, or a dear friend or sister or (insert family member) who would love to catch up more often... or who i would love to hear from more often... or who has figured out I am an erratic emailer... or who is waiting for me to pick up the phone and ring them... or .... (insert situation of your choosing.)

I don't like thinking this is going to more than one person. I am thinking of you all individually as I write this. I won't be proof-reading this more than once. I may completely regret it in the morning. But I am clicking on "publish." Please come back... say hi.... and forgive me for forsaking facebook. I'm still on the planet. !!
