First Blog

Hi, I'm Ang. And this is my first blog, ever.

Hello, Ang.

(Yes, sometimes I talk to myself. It might occur more often now that I am talking to myself online.)

An * will indicate an inner thought.

* It just occurred to me that the first two lines might sound like the beginning of an AA meeting.

I've never been to an AA meeting, but I've seen them on TV and they seem to start like that.

Well, now that I've been sidetracked, I suppose I should get back to what this is all about.

Blast it! My phone just rang and the laundry beeped. I'll be right back!

Ok, I'm back.

* What was not even a second for you, was about 4 minutes for me.

Distractable? No. I even looked it up at dictionary.com and it's not spelled that way. (Although I'm convinced it is).

I'm easily sidetracked. I think it's caused by being a wife and mother.

Oh, yes, that leads me back to why I am starting this blog in the first place! Hallelujah, I just found a way back!

* I tend to repeat myself in varying ways.

I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and possibly a good friend to somebody out there. I'm also certifiably 'redeemed' by the One who loves me most!

I have used MySpace and Facebook, respectively, to issue my thoughts, feelings and questions. I am now at a cross roads. I wish to continue to convey these to anyone willing to listen, but I feel as though a 'post' a day does not cut it anymore. I need something vital for my growth as a person and follower of Christ.

I always admired Ann Frank, young as she was, who kept a most treasured and irreplaceable diary. Whether to her it was a diary or journal, the thought is all the same. I want to be like that!

I've always wanted to keep a journal. To record my thoughts, dreams, feelings, desires and other 'stuff' in. I've never been diligent with it though. It could be the ache in my hand after writing so much. (Like that exercise stuff. Who wants to go back to the gym after getting sweaty and sore?) Or it could be that I lose things easily and never can keep the blasted journal/notebook in one place as to remember to do it daily.


These are just some of the reasons why I have considered blogging. I never misplace the computer and I never get an ache in my hand from typing. Also, I am online almost everyday to look at e-mails, recipes, and look up subject matter pertaining to my son's school work. (I did mention I was a mother, right?)

This blog is for my enjoyment and hopefully something I can pass down to my children and/or grandchildren. (Please, Lord. No grandkids for at least 15 years!) * Even that is cutting it close! Geeeez...

If it just so happens that someone else receives enjoyment from reading my posts, than please, comment and let me know. If you do not receive enjoyment, than why are you still reading?

Until tomorrow, or whenever I feel like it, have a good day!
