I made it this far. Blogging has been on my mind since the buzz started but somehow I never got around to creating my own. I guesss it was resistance borne out of fear of entering new territory. My journal has been a constant companion ever since and having my thoughts online was too bold on my end. With my journal, I can stash it in a place only I knew thereby protecting not only the contents but my very being as well. I am also still enamored when pen meets paper, when the ink forms itself into words that have their own thoughts. Seeing how my hands translate my thoughts into paper was magical!
But, we need to move on and in this technologically dictated world, I recognize how important it is to transcend our own boundaries. My initial trepidations about blogging also focused on how the young community was. I felt so alone in a world of juveniles and twenty-somethings, not to mention the tweeners and self-proclaimed young professionals (although that strikes me as the most odd as I have seen many of them and in my opinion, they are everything but professional!).
So, I let time pass until one time, I saw a blog from someone who belonged to my age group. There she was, firmly ensconced in her own world in cyberspace. I saw the links as well and that's when I realized it was time. There was also a community where I could belong. Finally!
This is just the beginning!
