For some reason, I've been very intimidated by this whole blog thing. I figure the best thing to do with tasks that intimidate me is to just do it. I think part of it is that the whole world can read my thoughts. That is kind of scary. Secondly, the whole world can see what an awful writer I am. But that is life. On the other hand, I love checking out my friends' blogs. I wish they'd write more often. However, I seem to collect friends who are witty, deep, and/or brilliant. I, on the other hand, rarely make much sense and I have bad grammar. On the bright side, if you get bored with mine, or get sick of the run-on sentences just check out my friends' blogs or websites. Theirs, I assure you, will be much more interesting in just about every redeeming aspect. I have never been much of a perfectionist so I plunge forward, flaws and all.
Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor ; spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
-- Theodore Roosevelt
