observing and blogging

so im starting a blog. yes i know i pretty late on this concept but as you know- better late than never. im simply using this space to make known observations that i notice or things that have taken place in my life on a daily base. i may gripe about my discontent of how some things are functioning in the world but this is not my place to wine about other people or make known the depths of my soul. those are reserved for god and others. why? because they talk back and can help me see where i may be wrong. often i am.

anne lamott in her book on writing called bird by bird says that one of the main benefits of writing is that it makes us better observers. i want to be a better observer and writer so this affords me the opportunity to put this into practice.


it also affords me the opportunity to casually let my mom know what’s going on in my life and in my mind and because i do not call her often enough i also suppose it will make her happy which is also something i want to do.
