"Taking the first step requires a bit of courage, but staying on the path will surely require a lot of grace."
I love words. I love them as a book, I love then as a letter or personal note, I love them as poetry, and I especially love them as
a "Quote."
Heres one to start me off on the new year, I'm back to this beleaguered and bygone place that I have ignored for over a year, my blog.
I'm not going to call this a resolution, just a restart, fueled by a new attitude about the space I call my blog. Over the years I have come here to play, to learn, and to share. I have put too much effort and laid down too many expectations in this space, then sat back and waited for something to happen.
What? Recognition, connection, appreciation? It didn't exactly happen that way, and that is the way of most expectations, isn't it?
I'm a bit of an introvert, and like many introverts, putting my thoughts into words on paper is much easier than saying them aloud. Knowing that about myself, that and the new attitude I want to carry with me on this path, I'm off, asking for grace along the way.
About that sharing, I think that may be the most motivating force for me to start again. As I exercise my writing and my art, this can be a place for me to put it out there for others. Or.....it might just be the place to record my efforts for myself. On a practical note, this is certainly a way to take on the challenges of social media by a senior citizen.
If anyone is reading this, thank you for taking the time. I would love to receive comments, followers. If no one ever sees it, well, that's OK as well.
