A First Step

Dear Cherished Reader,

You are my validation. Thank you for taking a moment to follow along on my journey.

My first step into this world feels exciting which is a good sign. There have been a few times in my life when I knew that a beginning was different than other beginnings. Perhaps one day soon I will share some of those moments with some of you who choose to spare the time. This is a promising feeling every time it happens, and a part of me feels that it might be too soon (I don't want to jinx it) to say if this is another Significant Beginning.

Someone famous and very smart said "You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great."

So here it is. A start.

My heart feels glad.

I may invent, or just vent.
I might entertain or offend.
I might play, overshare, titillate...

It feels like being let out of school on the last day with a summer of options stretching in front of me. And like the sickly sweet vanilla smell of old books in the library and my arms overfilled with so many books I won't know which one to start reading first when I get home. It feels like running with total abandon toward the playground at recess not knowing which thing to climb first.

Welcome, dear reader. And thank you for making one of my dreams come true.

    1. That is a sweet thought too. It would be a pretty sad endeavor alone, tho...thanks for joining in, and for participating in the comment party!
