Welcome to My First Entry On My New Blog

I have been thinking about starting a blog for a couple of months now. The inspiration for starting this blog actually came from my interactions with my friends on Facebook (and I thank my Facebook friends who have come over here to read my blog and support me on this adventure). I have found it interesting to see people respond to my status updates. It always amazes me when something I post in an attempt to be funny or witty turns into a conversation amongst my friends.

So I got to thinking. What if I brought this to a bigger scale? What if my thoughts weren't limited to the 140 characters I can use on Twitter? Or the 160 characters that I can send through a text message? Or the 400-500 characters available on a Facebook status? What if I was able to elaborate on my thoughts with as many characters as I need? Would people still want to read it? Would they still respond and discuss what I've posted about?

I have a lot of thoughts swirling around in my brain (I always say that my head is good for more than just growing gray hair). It is my hope that this blog will be entertaining for my readers. I hope that my posts are thought-provoking. I have about a dozen topics in my head now, and I'm sure I'll be inspired by the events in my life and the world.

I don't know how often or post, or how long I'll keep this blog going, but I do promise that I will do my best to make my posts interesting, and they will always be honest about what I am thinking and feeling. I don't want anyone leaving here thinking, "That's five minutes of my life I'll never get back."

So, thanks for joining me on this journey. I'm very curious to see where this blog leads, and I hope that you will join me on the journey.
