I never imagined I’d have a real live blog, much less have anything to write about.
Ever.

Until I got this nudge to write out a list of stuff I want to write about.
“I do ?”.
This came as a surprise to me, as much as the topics I wrote on the list.
To top it off, I watched myself post it on Facebook!

I didn’t make a formal plan to sit down and write.
I figured I would whenever the urge showed up.
That’s what happened.

Out of the blue, I’d find myself sitting down at the computer, open up word and start typing
away.
In a few tracks of music, some thoughts I didn’t know I had, would appear on my screen.
It was a little surreal watching it show up.

The topic was always a surprise.
Some came from the list, some were new.
It was sooooo liberating, pounding away with pure joy and utter abandonment.
I didn’t even know I loved to do this.

I’ve turned into some crazed person, seeing things I want to write about everywhere.
The Strbx kids who help me wake up, curly hair, our mailman.
The latest arrival “granny panties”, inspired by my gym locker room experience.
It makes me laugh thinking about it all over again.

I didn’t have any plans to do anything with all of this.
Until the day I wondered if I should.
That question led me down a path that eventually brought me here.
To having a real live blog, that needed a real live website to live at (say what ? I need a website?).
Serendipitous?
I think not.
