Time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin'...

Well, here I am again.  Attempting to start a new blog.  "Blog" is not a good word to describe what I want to get out of this.   When I was in college I kept a LiveJournal (so cool, I know) It was a great place for me to journal about what was going on in my life.  I could sit down at the end of the day and write a little bit in order to reflect of what has happening in my life. At the time, I was not a very deep thinking individual and that has not necessary changed in the past 10 years. So I should not expect much.

I can say that many things have changed for me though.  I am married, have a career, am a pug owner, and have a baby on the way.  Those things make my life very different today and I cannot believe how changed I am than when I left my home town.  I feel that this time went so fast!   I know that my life is not going to slow down and what needs to happen is that I become more intentional with the minutes I have.   I want to use this blog to help me stay focused on what is currently happening in my world and to quit wishing time to speed up.   I think that the "next step' will make my life easier but it really doesn't get easy. It is changes to a new kind of hard.  I don't mean hard as in painful or unjust.  I just mean hard as in the constant work that goes into being a human on earth. It is really an awesome process.

So, with all this being said,  I am going to start this journal/blog to help me remember how great life is RIGHT NOW and how blessed I am.  I know that my life is great and I want to remember that.
