2011 New Year's Resolution

      Well,  my New Year's resolution is to stop being afraid of writing!  Ugh... So I am starting a blog 1/24/11 to document my family life.  My friend Valerie author of a poetry book, Triandafilo, told me she wished she had just written one sentence a day while her children were young.  I have been trying to be consistent with writing but I inadvertently lose the notebook I'm writing in or its not nearby me; however, my computer is always near me.  I love to surf the net and the time I am doing that I could be documenting my cherished memories with my wee ones and hubby.  I also, just found out that my friend Carri has been turning her blogs into books every year.  That gave me a good reason to blog.  I can tackle my fear of writing and hopefully save some memories if I choose to do some more poetic writing later on...  I'm going to try and pack in what I remember and what is happening now.  There will be a bit of flashbacking but this is ultimately for myself to have a memory spring board for more in-depth storytelling later. 

     Thanks to my friend Carri for being such a dedicated blogger and giving me some inspiration and to Valerie for being an amazing poet that shows that even the most mundane things in life have a story worth telling.
