I guess I have to start somewhere...

I am not real sure what made me what to start this, but I guess I have to start somewhere...


I have contemplated starting a blog for over a year now, but just couldn't work up the courage to get it all going. I would like to use the excuse that I have been too busy, but honestly I think I was just a bit intimidated. I have read a few blogs by friends, professionals, and people just like me and they are all AMAZING! I guess I was just worried I couldn't live up to the challenge... Either way today marks day one on my new adventure...


Why did I want to start this blog?
I recently had some challenges come up in my life and I (Miss Dramatic) thought "This is the worst thing that could ever happen to me!". Since then I took a step back and took a good look at the friends, family, and world surrounding me and realized "NO, I am so blessed!".
So I guess the reason for this blog is to not only make me realize how SWEET life is, but to hopefully inspire others to take that step back and see how much they really have.


I am sure all of your parents have told you sometime in your life "Be thankful for what you have". When we were younger we would just let those words go in one ear and out the other... NOW, I GET IT! I was talking to my best friend, Lauren, the other day and she said "I feel like all I have heard lately is BAD news". After hearing her say those words that was when it CLICKED, I am SO thankful for what I have and what I went through was so minimal compared to all of the things going on in families and lives around me.


OK, so far I feel like I am just rambling... I promise to get better at this and I will get more to the "point" of this blog hopefully within the next few posts. SOOO instead of boring you with a LONG rambling 1st post, I will politely end here and start again tomorrow. =)
