Okay, so I really thought that this would be one of my easiest new adventures, but in reality, I stink at this 'blogging' thing!!
I have always wanted to write 'something' (to be completely honest, for as long as I can remember, I have wanted to write a book!), but after trying my hand at writing a 'blog', I'm not so sure that a real book is in my future! I have determined that I will need a ton more discipline if I am ever going to write anything more than a thank you note...which are difficult enough, at times!
After seeing the movie, "Julie and Julia", writing a blog seemed like such a fun idea! I had the desire, and the tools (my wonderful MacBook!), but now I just needed something to write about! When the plans to do 60 new things in my 60th year started to form, it was suggested by one of my kids to blog about my adventures...and so here we are! So now I have the desire, the tools, AND the topic, but I am struggling with making it happen on a regular basis!
I truly think that one of my stumbling blocks is fear! It's a little scary, and crazy, to share with the world, well maybe not the WHOLE world, but a little part of the world, not only the fact that I am now 60 years old, but that there are a ton of things that I have never done, but that I want to do, and what those things actually are! I am a bit afraid that many of my upcoming adventures will seem trivial to some of my readers, and may seem silly and not even worthy of writing about. But even as I write this, I am remembering that the Lord gave me the idea to do 60 new things in my 60th year, and because of that fact alone, I am going to keep at it and know that at the end of my 60th year I am going to look back and be really glad that I pursued my 60 new adventures...including writing this blog!!!
Thank you, faithful readers, (ahead of time), for sharing this experience with me! I am truly grateful for each of you and I look forward to hearing from you as I continue my journey!
And keep your suggestions for new adventures coming! I am writing all of them down and I will let you know as I use my 'reader ideas'!! (Sorry, Mer, not so sure your 3 days of silence will happen...I guess time will tell! Love you!)
