In The Beginning!

Well, here goes nothing!

Maiden Voyage - Dec. 30th 2008 http://refreshingdesigns.etsy.com/

This is a first for me. I have never blogged before so I apologize for the excitement I have over the novelty of it all. I can be a bit naive and not so tech savvy when it comes to this type of thing. I am a good old fashions pen and paper sort of gal. I love doing and creating with my hands even if it is just sitting down to journal a little bit or write a note. I am also very visual and pictures say more than a whole book could sometimes. So I imagine once I figure out how to do it, I will be posting a lot of fun pictures.

I have to admit, this whole blog thing does seem a bit cold. Just sitting here in the evening typing my thoughts, staring at my monitor, sending my message out into the grand abyss. Who will be there to read this?

Hopefully, there is someone who will enjoy what I have to say out there. I don't really have any profound thoughts or insites. I live a simple life with my wonderful husband of 9 years and two sons. Life is good.

Even now as I type in the night, my 8 year-old woke up from a bad dream and came into the room crying. While still sitting, I hugged him around the waist. He towered over me, my 8 year-old! Then as I calmed his fears and sent him off to bed, I pondered for a moment on how much he has grown, but how young he still is. I love that my boy can still come to me when he has a bad dream and that I have the power to sooth his troubled heart. Oh, the joys of motherhood! I hold those things dear forever.
