Throwing in the Beach Towel

I’ve never been too shy to tell people what I was thinking…or feeling…or to offer up my opinion. So why, you’re wondering, did it take me so long to start blogging? Until now it just seemed like more work; just one more item to add to a never ending TO DO list. And I really wasn’t interested in more work. And even though I’ve never felt the slightest bit of shyness, I’ve been somewhat hesitant to put pen to paper, or hands to keyboard as it were.

So what has changed?  Not much really. A blog is still going to be another task on my seemingly endless list. And I’m still not sure that I will be able to write well enough to entertain you and keep you coming back for more. (There! You found it! My one insecurity; I want to be good at writing and don’t know if I am. Are you happy now?)

But I love reading. No. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE reading! I love reading anything and everything; books, magazines, newspapers, cereal boxes, etc. The only thing better than reading for me, is reading while lying in the sun someplace, anyplace, south of snow. So, I’ve always been a fan of other people’s blogs. In fact, I can spend (read: waste) as much time reading blogs as I can networking (read: wasting time) on facebook when I’m supposed to be working.

So I’m throwing in the beach towel. Maybe writing my own blog will be more productive than reading yours.
