Starting up......

Journal, no. Diary, no........Blog Perhaps?  I have been contemplating starting up a blog for a while.....So here it goes.  Bear with me as I learn all about blogging and start up this new adventure.   I CAN promise typos and grammar errors! (Im sure my sister will be the first to point all of these errors out).  After talking to a few friends, they assured me they thought this was a great idea.  Hmmmmm, well Im not pregnant, Im not getting married, Im not starting a great new business, taking a trip or anything exciting?!  So what do I blog about? Or why start a blog?  Here are my reasons:
1. Stay connected
2. Make people laugh or smile with my somewhat interesting insight on topics
3. Bring like-minded people together
4. Express thoughts, feelings and opinions
5. Simplify life by taking time out of the day to reflect or even vent
6. Affirm the realities of life
So get excited and strap on the seatbelt. :-)  Who knows what the next topic will be! 
Cheers.....
