I realize that this should have been my first post, but the
NPR post was just good fun, and felt like a good way for me to jump into
blogging. For anyone reading this blog who wonders what I will be writing
about, the short answer is: Whatever strikes my fancy. The longer answer is that it will be about the
things that are important to me. It won’t all be funny, and it won’t all be
serious. I may post some recipes, although they are likely to be of the “a
pinch of this and a dash of that” variety as I don’t really measure things in
my daily cooking. I may post the occasional crafty thing. I will definitely
post about politics. I am a very liberal Catholic who leads a pretty conservative
life. While I am always interested in new/different viewpoints, I am also only
interested in respectful discourse. It will
sometimes be about culture- pop, high, and everything in between. It will
occasionally be about parenting because that consumes a lot of my life right
now. What I really hope it’s about is life and perspective. I work every day to
lead a good life, and to try to keep things in perspective, especially when my
life is going very well or not so well.
As to the, “why now?” I have been toying with the idea for
years, but I could never decide why I should write, and if I did write, what I
should say. When I realized that I should just write because I miss it, and
then came up with an idea that made me laugh for a first post, I decided now
was as good a time as any, and it still took me nearly two months to finally
post something. There are a lot of other personal reasons, but this is the
succinct, less self-indulgent version.
If you’ve made your way to my little corner of the
blogosphere, I hope you enjoy it.
I look forward to anything you may write!
