Why Here, Why Now?

So why did I decide to do this thing? Why add my name to the infinite (it seems) number of bloggers out there cluttering up cyberspace?

I’m really not sure myself. I think it has something to do with facebook. After strong initial resistance, I found that I quite enjoyed writing little comments here and there on a giant cosmic whiteboard. Comments that I found people actually read. And sometimes even responded to. Not just people, mind you. My people. People added by me … or approved by me. My fiber-optic friends.

Sometimes I found myself wanting to say more. But my much more facebook-savvy daughter said, “NO, mom. Do NOT overwrite. You will look really stupid.” Horrors! Looking really stupid on facebook is a faux pas I do not wish to commit.

So it seemed that if I wanted to extend my musings, I would have to choose another forum. And here I am.

  6. Thanks so much, girls! Your encouragement means the world to me. You make me feel like Julie in the movie "Julie and Julia" when she joyfully enthused, "I got my first comments!!"
