The concept of a blog is really quite interesting. Anyone can do it. There really isn't anything special about it. It can be something no one will ever look at or it could be something that millions chose to read or even something random people stumble upon through the crazy rabbit hole knows as the web.

For me...blogging is...well I don't really know. It's just something I want to do to get my thoughts out. Thoughts that I'm thinking and want to voice and things that have happened in my life. It's a place to reflect and journal just as the Webster Dictonary defines it.

I am no writer. I come from a family of writers. It's a love that I never shared, but looky here...I am attempting this fine art that will probably come across as a stick figure drawing oppose to a Rembrandt. Regardless...here I am.

Answer to Random Question

The squish of mud between your toes; how would you live your life as a frog?

This question makes me think of a time when I was probably 10 years old and it was summer time. I was wearing a red dress and went out to play in the soybean field just after it rained with my niece Shelley, who is 5 months older than me. It was so muddy and sloppy with frogs EVERYWHERE! We spend hours catching them and completely got covered with mud from head to toe. It was a trick to sneak past my mom to get cleaned up without her knowing we were tracking mud through the house. Ah...to be a child again...I still love the feel of mud between my toes!!!
