Dearest Reader,
First of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing to read this blog. It is a huge step for me to put my words and feelings out there for the rest of the world to see and know. I am by nature a very shy person, a shrinking violet. However, I am following my instincts and taking a leap of faith that not only will I grow from this journey, but that you may also gain something as a reader. My initial plan is to begin each post with a thought and go from there. At the present time in my life I am struggling with three important issues. How can I best make use of all my free time in retirement after being a teacher for 37 years, will I ever get my weight down to where I want it to be and become a healthier person, and what can I do to grow more spiritually?
Sometimes my mind is like a sieve, and nothing stays with me. But other times I get something into my head and it keeps rattling around like a pinball in an old pinball machine. It is during these times that I write that thought down in my notebook. This blog was born from those thoughts. I am forever grateful to those of you who have decided to go on this journey with me. When I was ten years old I had a teacher who told me I was an excellent writer and poet. She put my story in the little glass display case in the lobby of my small elementary school. From that day on, I knew I would continue to put my stories and poems on paper, even if it was only for myself. And so .... the journey begins.
