I cannot believe I have reached post number 500 on this blog.<\/p>\n
I began this journey with my first post on May 28, 2009 back when my life was so very, very different than it is today. It was at the insistence of my friend Gina, who every Thursday for an hour while our sons’ were at a class, I would make her laugh with my stories.\u00a0\u00a0 “You need a blog!\u00a0 You are hilarious!”\u00a0 she kept telling me.\u00a0 She was apparently very convincing!<\/p>\n
So I did it.\u00a0 I paid for website hosting and started archiving the amusing stories from my past and my life and my unique perspective on things. \u00a0It proved to be a wonderful outlet and something to look forward to every day. “Did anyone comment on the blog posting?” became a constant hope, although few people actually did comment. Truthfully, I get more spambots than readers but I don’t really do much to market myself nor this blog.\u00a0 Probably due to what I’ve realized is my serious lack of ambition!<\/p>\n
Its been a long and interesting road since that first blog almost 4 years ago.\u00a0 I tried my hand at writing; doing it by writing a novel & sequel (wayyy too long! lol)\u00a0 and learning about the business and using the blog to hone my craft and find my voice.\u00a0 In the process I discovered its a lot of work to publish.\u00a0 Its fun to write tho, so I’ll probably still do it for fun. \u00a0 Also, since I started this my children got a little older, I realized my life wasn’t on the track I wanted, I got divorced, I started dating.\u00a0 Basically a life change when I realized I couldn’t live for the rest of my life in the mold made for others that wasn’t really me.\u00a0 So I changed it and discovered more about myself and what makes me happy.<\/p>\n
And I blogged it all.\u00a0 Heeheehee<\/p>\n
Well, at least until I got onto Facebook.\u00a0 And THAT just kind of began to eat up a lot of my humor & need for attention!\u00a0 I did get up to 100 friends and some of them DO read the blog, but like I said….\u00a0 serious lack of ambition!<\/p>\n
But can you blame me?\u00a0\u00a0 I’m actually out LIVING my life and not writing a fantasy of what I might WANT to have happen.\u00a0 Not that I’m putting down authors.\u00a0 They are different.\u00a0 They are driven by the Muse and the need to write.\u00a0 I enjoy writing, am not to bad at it (I like to think) but it doesn’t drive me.\u00a0\u00a0 Being admired drives me.\u00a0 And to be honest I can get that from my friends, my lovers or strangers I sit next to and begin to chat with for 30 minutes or more!<\/p>\n
Because when you like yourself, have a quick wit for the humorous, accept others for themselves with as little judgement as you can…. well its impossible not to be entertaining!<\/p>\n
