I have an idea *light bulb over head*. I’ve been wracking my poor overworked brain for a good idea for this blog. Yes, the blog is mostly to log my journey through the next year as I struggle to grow artistically, spiritually, and inhealth-consciousness, and I will be giving updates on all those things. But I want to write almost daily, and I’m sorry, but there’s only so much writing about myself I can do….I have faced it, my life is pretty boring to talk about and I’m just not very good at spicing it up (SOME people can make baking bread and cleaning their house sound fascinating…I can’t). I’m an empty-nester…my kids’ lives are pretty interesting and sometimes extremely entertaining, but they would not appreciate me writing about them very much. My DH has already instructed me to use him in my blog rarely, and although I could wax poetic about his beautiful smile and his twinkly blue-blue eyes and how much I am STILL deeply in love with him after almost twenty-seven years…I will refrain [and wait to tell you our story on our anniversary in December ;) ]. I could go on and on about my first grandson, and how cute he is, and how fun he’s becoming now that he’s passed the three-month mark, and how smushie his fat little cheeks are, and how I could kiss (and smell) the top of his head all day long and never get tired of it, and how I live for his sweet smiles, but no. I won’t bore you with that. Or I could regale you with stories about our two ugly mutts (and I probably will)…I mean, everybody loves a good dog story, right? Am I right?

Well, I will probably do all those things eventually, but I don’t want to right now. I need to write this blog to keep myself on the up-and-up, to stay accountable for my goal, but I also want to tell stories…that’s what I like to do. That’s what I NEED to do. So…..duh….I will write a story on my blog. I have no idea how it’s going to go, I just thought it up (I know it’s not original, other people are doing it all over the place —– I don’t care). So, starting tomorrow, I will give you the first installment of my “serial book”, as yet untitled. I had the idea for this story months ago and have done nothing with it, so you will be my guinea pigs. YEA YOU!

Until tomorrow (I know you will wait with bated breath)…
