For some reason I am very excited about setting up this blog. I can’t tell you why, I haven’t figured that out yet, but I know it’ s true because I haven’t been able to get it off my mind since I began setting it up a few days ago. It’s definitely a learning experience, and I’ve got a lot yet to learn, but I figure I have the time (here and there). As they say “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” {That’s what they say, isn’t it? I’ve been known for misquotes on occasion, some on purpose, some not!}. I want to give a very unsolicited plug to wordpress here. It has made setting up this site quite easy for a middle-aged computer novice, and I thank them for that.
Anyway, here I am and here is where I’ll stay, for a while anyway (ah – another quote, I think. Anyone know where that one comes from?). As I mention in my “about me” page. I have just recently entered the social media pool – or is it an ocean - and thanks to Alissa Gauger, my friend and a skilled life coach, I am not drowning! [I have to make another unsolicited plug here - Alissa is a truly a skilled coach. I have worked with her closely on a different level and have learned of her God-given gift. Beside, she a glass half full kind of girl - just my style!]. But what I have found in my media socializing so far is that twitter and facebook don’t give a verbose person such as myself enough room to put down all my thoughts. Then Voila! I am introduced to blogging by a stranger on a tweet.
As the header on my blog says, I’ll be talking about books, reading, writing, and generally things that come into my head. My subheading would read, if I could add one, “while trying not to take myself to seriously.” I think that’s one of those very important keys to life: don’t take yourself, or anyone else for that matter, too seriously. I don’t think life is supposed to be too serious. If that weren’t the case, why would God have invented the mirror!
Until we meet again,
Christina
