I’m hoping this will be the beginning of a daily ritual. My intention is to write something everyday. Those of you that already know me are shaking your heads and saying quietly to yourself “she will never stick with it”. I know me better than you do and I have to say you are probably right. I will however give it my best.

For many years I have wanted to write a book. First it was a kids book that starred EdBird our Emu. My mom told me a very long time ago that my adventures with EdBird would certainly entertain the adults if not the children. Prior to that I hadn’t really thought much about me being a writer. Most of what I write at this point in my life are my frustrations. I write them down to get them out of my head. Way too much rolling around up there already.

As of this moment I am still trying to figure out this “Blog” thing. I have no idea what it will look like or how silly I will sound. I’m taking a chance. My goal is to improve my writing, spelling and grammar and make sure I can keep your attention. My days are just my days and even when I don’t find them interesting or exciting, others seem to. My grandmother use to ask me to stop on my way home from work just to tell my grandfather what I did that day. Although he had Alzheimers he never forgot who I was and ALWAYS loved to hear my stories. What seemed to me to be a normal run of the mill day always made him laugh. I’m still not sure who was humoring who. It made me feel good to see him smile. My grandparents were a huge part of my life back then and to this day. Just about everything I do relates back to something they said or taught me. I have to say I miss them horribly and would give anything to have one more day with them both. Although I learned so much from them I know it was just a fraction of what they could have taught me. For now I just hope they are watching from Heaven and being proud of what I do each day and know I got my love of animals and many of my talents from them. Karl on the other hand could live without my “chair” obsession! THAT is thanks to my grandfather Ray. I miss you Gram and Gramp 🙁

Well, I guess I should check out what this will all look like before I type too much and find out I am doing it all wrong! I will be back. Next time I will introduce myself and give you a little back story. See you soon!
