Up, up and away!

Once upon a time, there was a young gal named Dee.  Dee was a bookworm whose favorite pastime was reading, studying and writing.  She thoroughly enjoyed all three and if she wasn’t eating, sleeping or in school, that is all she did.  Unfortunately, Dee grew up and with adulthood came responsibilities and other obligations with the most time consuming of those being that dirty word – WORK!

Poor Dee slowly drifted away from one of her passions – writing.  Reading and studying were so embedded into her being that it was second nature to her.  Biographies, self-help, history, political and just books containing facts remained a constant.  Then came the world wide web where she hit the jackpot!  All of that random knowledge right at the tip of her fingertips.

Most days, you could/can catch Dee on her computer reading news, articles about cooking – her surprising new passion – studying up on the newest technology and so much more.  However, deep down she longed to write again.  She had an idea!  She could start a blog but then she thinks “Well, yes, I used to write a lot but was I really good at it?  That was so long ago and I was certainly not a professional.  Why shouldn’t I ?” she thought, “I’ve read countless blogs containing bad grammar, even worse spelling.  Everyone is doing it.“  But then she hears those voices in her head say, “If everyone were jumping off a bridge, would you do that too?“  She thinks for a minute, ignores those nay saying voices and begins to write….

Welcome to my new blog!  I’m not exactly sure how well this is going to turn out but I’m giving it a shot!  I can’t promise it will be a great one or even a good one but I’m giving it all I’ve got.  Who knows where it will lead me or what topics I will explore but here’s hoping it will be a joyous ride.

Hello world….here I come!
