Ok. I'm doing this. I've wanted to blog for awhile now. My reluctance comes from two things. 1) I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings or go to jail. and 2) I want to be honest regardless of #1. I realize that at least some of this is irrational fear, but we all have those and that is one of mine. So here I go, trying to overcome irrational fear. Why am I always afraid I'm going to jail? I think reading the news every night in bed doesn't help. I love to read the news. I currently have KGW and Huffington Post news apps on my phone. Sweet dreams.
First Post
This being the first post I have a lot of expectations. I feel like I should explain what this is going to be about. I feel pressure to be witty and engaging like the blogs I've read.. I'm still debating how/if I'm going to promote this blog. I'll decided by the time I'm finished with this entry. I intend to write about multiple things before then. One thing that I do hope to accomplish with this blog is a record of change. There is a lot going in my life right now and I hope to document how these things play out. Ultimately I hope to see that I've grown. I realize how important it is to set goals, create and work towards the milestones to those goals. And I'm doing that in public now. Yay accountability!
I Love OneNote
I don't know what this blog is going to be about, except me, my social commentary and more me. I'm going to let go of the notion that it has to be about anything focused like cooking or art. If I find a central focus that I can write about, I'll probably start another blog. Which reminds me of my notebooks. I love them. I have too many. It's the promise of fresh 80 pages or more that I'm attracted to. The ideas the I can fill them with, ideas,the schedules I will keep in them and the endless planning that I do. There is also the never ending, unrealistic search that I can find or create a notebook to successfully contain them all. Blogs will not be my new notebooks. OneNote is my new notebook. It's an amazing Microsoft product that came with my MS suite of Excel, Word, Powerpoint, and (sighing with love) OneNote. Tabs just like a notebook, pages just like a notebook except better. Both are ruined if I spill coffee on them.This is not, an ad for Microsoft. This is a confession, that I've found something wonderful. Enough about OneNote. Check it out, you might like it too. I have yet to meet anyone who even knows what it is. Oh, and unless I buy a netbook or something similar, I will always carry a notebook. My laptop is just not safe in my purse.
I have at least three other topics that I'm currently writing about so, I think there will be a mass blog release tonight.
