Day One

Blogging. It feels weird doing this because I like being a bit mysterious to others but it seems like a logical hobby for me right now. I can't write in my journal much these days because of a carpel tunnel problem that I am ignoring til it goes away, which isn't working. I love words and writing and miss them both so. Lately I can't get away from the realization that life is just going by so fast. Really just to fast that I would like to use blogging as an arena where I can stop to process it the best way I know how through written words. It is even better that through this folks can read and share this short life with me. There are many folks so dear but hidden/distant from me and this seems like it would be a lovely connector & maybe they would be found again. Warning in advance: though I have been an English teacher for the past few years this blog will be FULL of made up words, comma splices, possible mis-spellings, and run-ons. I don't apologize. I prefer to use words like paint in my free time and not pay attention to the rules of language, which from hours of editing others' papers, gives me a headache. I can edit my own rough draft if my dribble is to be published but for right now it isn't so I won't.
