Back to the Beginning

I love to write.

I am unable to do it often, but I love it. I enjoy staring at my computer with the cursor ready and waiting for my fingers to begin tapping out words.

I love the challenge that comes with writing. But, I think what I love most about it is the ability to unload my mind. My thoughts become a creation. What once was blank becomes full of letters which form words which result in my thoughts. Clean. Organized. Present. I tend to hide my thoughts from others. I avoid confrontation and shake my head ("just smile and nod"), but that's not right nor is it fair to the other person.

So with all that being said, I am taking back my old blog from the cobwebbed corners of the internet not to voice my opinion on crucial matters or stand on my soapbox. Rather, I intend to continue writing about my day to day. My kid filled week, my still new to me marriage, a new dog, and other fun things along the way are just a few topics I'm sure to grace these pages. I love kids and love what I do. They show me more about myself than any self-aptitude test or Facebook quiz could ever reveal. They are tiny yet full of unmeasurable love, frustrating yet wise beyond their years, and not only do they reveal things about myself, but also about our Creator.

I am going back to the beginning- back to where I fell in love with writing. And, I hope that you enjoy what you read and are inspired to live more fully and love more deeply because of it.
