Welcome to my blog. I am welcoming myself, too, because I haven't ever done this before! This is not exactly a "resolution," but maybe something similar. I have been wanting to write more. Not the "because it is an assignment and I have to" kind of writing, but rather the kind writing that stirs the the soul and attempts to capture the relevant yet fleeting feelings of a moment. It is amazing how many things I would completely forget if I didn't write them down. Grocery lists, To-Do lists, so many lists. But I realize that memories and reflections that come so clearly out of the blue often disappear just as quickly. And writing is often how I cope--How I release the overwhelming feelings that I don't know what to do with, how I attempt to let go of pain and suffering I see or experience, and yes, also how I try to remember the beauty that crosses my path.
I am not usually good with consistency or discipline, but those are things I would like to work on. Maybe those are the resolutions more than this blog itself. Either way, I'm not making any promises, but my desire is to ponder, reflect, capture, preserve and laugh at this journey we call life.
I am often struck by small details of this world that suddenly become profound when I slow down enough to take them in. And I think that is what brings such fun and joy to this life we are blessed to be living--this life that is ushered forward by an ever-loving and ever-creative God; this life that has new surprises and adventures around every corner.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me!
