Surprise!

I've been thinking...............about starting a blog for awhile now. Actually, I am feeling peer pressure. I don't fit in with the "blog crowd". I attend sunday school and ladies activities and when the conversation turns to blogging I am lost. Out of curiosity I recently visited my first blog sight. I realized that I did enjoy reading others blogs. I simply have not felt that I had anything important or interesting to say. I wish I could blog updates on how my triathalon training is going like my amazing athletic friends are. BUT, the Tae Bo videos did not produce the amazing results I had hoped for (and paid for). Due to the nature of my work I considered a blog on, " 100 secrets I've heard this year". I guarantee it would keep you on the edge of your seat but would likely land me in the unemployment line (and in court). I spent a great deal of time debating what template style and title to use for my blog. The process of making such big decisions was a bit stressful for me. I don't think that's a good sign. I am exicted about re-connecting with old friends and growing closer to new friends via this blog. Life has gotten so busy and I feel so out of touch with so many people. I am finding myself wanting to find ways to SIMPLIFY my life. I'm not sure if it's my age or just exhaustion from the business of life. I feel a need to find ways to focus on the truly important things in life. For me that is people. I suppose that is my biggest motivation in starting this blog.

Thanks to my friend Kelley for walking me through "Blogging 101". I'd still be working on signing in without her help :)
