My First Blog

A little scary, like the first day going to a new school. Will they like me? Will I fit in? What do I say? Will everyone be nice or just ignore me? Will I have to eat lunch by myself?

Well, maybe not the lunch part, but all of the other stuff.

Why blog? I have lurked on many bloggers sites for a while now. I have my favorites. Many have made me laugh to myself, some have made me cry, some have inspired; I may have even learned a thing or two about myself while reading. I wanted to give it a whirl. Maybe someone will see mine and will be touched the same way that I have. Then there are the selfish reasons.... I want to have a way to record my life at this point. There are so many exciting things happening. I feel like it is all opening up for me right now.

So, the girl part of me is standing here with my lunch tray, looking for a place to sit, hoping that I will fit in...

The woman part of me knows that taking the first step towards someone and introducing yourself is what gets the ball rolling.

Hi, I'm MR.

Hi, I'm KC. Come sit with me. Yes, I'm eating egg salad right out of the container. Yes, I know it looks pretty gross. Okay, fine, suit yourself, whatever.

(Yay! I'm the first to comment on a blog!)

And for what it's worth, I started a blog for the same reasons. Life was too full not to record it- mainly to document my daughter's growth. I didn't anticipate how much it would help me grow.

Hey there, MR

Welcome to the blogosphere! There are lots of really amazing women out here, aren't there?

I think that was one reason I began to blog. To become a small part of a community. The other was to keep my sanity.

Have fun!

Thank you, rock the cradle. I really appreciate that. I really wasn't expecting comments on my first blog.

Whoo hoo!
