What a Life!

I love writing. When I was a kid, I wanted to have a monthly personal newsletter. I never got around to actually publishing it, but I worked on it and dreamed about it just the same. I still have lots of books about writing, and I write in my journal regularly. I have served on the company newsletter committee where I worked, and I’ve even had an article published in the Adventist Review a few years ago. Every year I say I’m going to send out a Christmas letter, but I never get it done. In the same way, I doubt I’ll ever write a book or get an article published again.

I read somewhere recently that blogging gives writers an opportunity to be published without having to worry about whether someone else thinks what they have to say is worth printing. You just write something that you find interesting, post it, and then hope that others will find it interesting as well. So I decided it was time for me to have a blog where I can enjoy the pleasures of writing and share tidbits of my life without worrying about finding someone to publish it, much less have an editor tear it to pieces.

In this blog you’ll hear about my knitting and see pictures of my latest finished projects. You’ll hear me talk about daily life at our house, including Ben’s latest antics. And occasionally you’ll hear my opinions on everything from politics to how Gerber jars their baby food. Feel free to leave comments – I love hearing what you think as well.

So grab a cup of coffee and come on in. I hope you enjoy the time you spend here reading my blog.
