Welcome to the world of blogging

So. . . This is my first attempt at a 'blog.' I haven't much experience but felt that this could be a fun way for me to express myself and my life to anyone/everyone who is interested. I find myself lured in by other's blogs and experiences. Many of those whom I have lost close contact with throughout the years. So, I have decided to create my own blog and hope that others gain as much from mine as I do, others.
