i love life

i enjoy reading the blogs of my friends & family members - but have been hesitant to start one of my own.  i'm loathe to presume that anybody cares what i'm doing or thinking (people don't, possibly with the exception of my family & even then ... grin ...) & it's tentative writing, i feel a little self-conscious about what i put on screen ... but as i was reading my sister-in-law's blog entry, i realized that she was getting just as much enjoyment out of writing the post as i was from reading it - that feeling was tangible.  i decided then that i'd start to record some of my experiences & thoughts for my own benefit, pleasure, remembrance - i could be comfortable with a little self-expression.  so.  this blog is for me, mostly. i'm hoping that as i record, it will allow me to contemplate more fully the tremendous blessings in my life as well as give me the opportunity to reflect on the joy & happiness that seem to follow me wherever i go.  it's true, really:  i love life.
