My first blog...

OK - so here goes...my first blog. In preparing to join the blogosphere I did some research. Apparently I'm supposed to type this like a conversation...let's have a chat shall we? That and I'm supposed to ask readers for input...not sure how many of those I'll have (readers not comments)...if nothing else this should be cathartic.

I've been thinking a lot lately about courage and what I feel is my lack of it. So this is my attempt of stepping out of my comfort zone of obscurity. I have been thinking about the people who make others stop and watch . Those who get things done. Who aren't afraid of other people's judgements.(You may be surprised to know I have A LOT of friends that fall into the category.) Then I think about the differences between that person & me. Obscurity is what comes to mind. Obscurity is my fuzzy pink blanket or "PINK" as my daughter would say. I like working in the background, working in the kitchen during the party. Doing research others don't want to do because the end reward may not pay off with public displays of achievement. I like taking care of all the little details others find monotonous. That's why blogging seems a little out character for me. It means drawing attention to myself, putting my feelings out there in cyberspace for all to view or criticize. Or perhaps even brag on achievements (I do have 2 AMAZING kiddos and an INCREDIBLE husband!). Someone might read this. They might not get my sarcasm or humor. They might judge my parenting skills. They might think I'm dumb; or worse write something unkind below (just remember I can remove those). They might not agree with me (which is really OK because I'm not sure there are that many people who are as conservative as I am). So with that in mind as long as they don't compare me to someone who has been blogging for a while, I'm OK with that...
