It feels good!

To see someone from your past that intimidates you AND at first you want to bolt. You could bolt and no one would be the wiser. But mid turn you stop.
I did that.
I think I even said aloud, "No way! I'm not running!" I instead held my head high and I walked up to this person. I approached her. She looked shocked. We had a pleasant conversation. I walked away and thought to myself, "I didn't even suck my gut in, so there!"

Call it maturity, some things are getting easier. I bought new tennis shoes yesterday. I don't know why, but the cute women's shoes have never been comfortable. I like men's shoes. I would like to wear the adorable pink and brown New Balance, but I'm all about comfort.

To all my kids, I love you. I so enjoy reading your Blogs and seeing your pictures!

All Beginnings Are Hard

This is an opening sentence from a book I recently read. Thus, I begin the hard work of beginning to Blog. I am doing so mainly so I can post comments on the Blogs of the great young people in my life. Yesterday I laughed at the adorable pictures of the Johnson gals . . .too cute! Then I marveled at the beautiful quilt my talented daughter made. Then I read with rapt attention what Morgan, my daughter who loves all things pertaining to children wrote. I too have a strong affinity to children's literature. So here is my beginning. It wasn't so hard after all.
