I started this blog as an experiment about this time last year. It failed terribly. Not only did I not maintain it with current posts and updates to my profile, but I generally forgot about it. Now I'm not going to promise myself, or any of the four people who are following this, that this year will be better, though today I'm inclined to think it might be so. The reason for this is that I have grown a bit since this time last year, and I am fully embracing the New Year and the new opportunities that come with it! Over this past year I have learned a few things about myself that I had never fully recognized before--I love to write and to express myself using the written word. Yes it's true, I find I have a very limited vocabulary, but I think to myself, that's OK, I'm writing for everyone, not just intellectuals or the high minded types seeking a bit of reality! I have also discovered that I can be a little bit funny in what I write; that at the right time, and given the right circumstances, a bit of humor comes through that is both refreshing and needed--especially when the subject is something like our current President, Mr. Obama! Heaven knows we could all use a bit of humor when we see the likes of him flash across the TV screen or on the front page of the newspaper. His charm and gift for oratory stirs something deep inside of me--I think it's a kidney stone! I have also learned that when I set my mind to accomplishing a few great things, great things do in fact happen, and that's what has me most excited of all. So, I guess to sum up this bit of New Years wisdom, I'm committing myself to do some good things this year, all with a bit of planning behind such, and the dedication needed to see through what I've started. I'll update what the results are as they happen--this much I can do!
And so, I send this out to the wide world of bloggers and blog readers, not knowing if anyone is paying attention. I'm paying attention to what I need to be doing to make 2010 a really good year for me and my family. If it turns out half as good as 2009, we will have a very good year indeed--and just maybe, if you're tuning in to this blog, you'll read about it as it happens.
Happy New Year!
