Starting something new can sometimes be a little intimidating. And this idea of using a blog to take the place of my daily journal entry as well as be a substitute for our family newsletter is a real change for me. I have been sitting in a green chair in our bedroom at the end of the day and writing a page with pen and paper. I find that one good reason to do it differently is simply my hand writing. It isn't getting any better since since 2/2/2002 so at least my entry will be legible. I also thought of another reason to do it this way. I have wanted to do something about writing letters to the family for a long time. In a way this new project will do that for me too.
I have come to like starting over each new year. It just feels good. And this year has been different enough from other years that it really seems like a new start. When Shelli came down yesterday and help me get started with this blog I began to realize that there was so much about it that was both new to me, and unknown to me. I am sure that it will take me several days, perhaps weeks, even months before i become proficient as a 'blogger'.
I have been puttering around in the office today doing work and year end/year beginning stuff. I brought my picture wall up to date, and did some rearranging, and it looks nice. The rest of my office can use a bit of attention too. Come Monday I will attempt to continue my office cleaning and changing over my system to the new year of 2011.
If I learned what Shelli taught then my 1st entry of my blog-journal-newsletter will have been published.
You did it!!
