Blogging Looked So Easy September 10, 2009

So.  I’m like a kid with a new bike.  I want to ride that shiny new beauty down the street but I’m not sure how.  Where to start? Is my first attempt going to be a fabulous success or a wild ride toward disaster?  What looks so effortless from afar takes on a whole new dimension when it’s me getting on.  Truly, it would all be easier if I just parked that bike back in the garage and stuck to what I knew.  Solid ground, on my own two feet.

Butohmygoshthat’ssoBORING, can I just say.  Where’s the “livin’” life in that?  Everyone knows (don’t they?) that easy isn’t usually better.  I tell that to my kids all the time.  I tell them that the best things in life, the things they’ll care about most, are the things that will stretch them beyond what’s comfortable.  I tell them that no matter what happens, success or failure, hard work and effort are never wasted.

So here I am, taking my own advice.  I’m stepping out.  Practicing what I preach.  Letting my kids watch me squirm a little.  It’s great and it’s terrifying and it’s exciting and…I think I might have to throw up.

But I am not dissuaded.

I’m going for it.
