A new experience for me!

I've never blogged before...but I love to read others', and I love to write! So we'll see where this goes. I'm going to a writers workshop on Sunday at an old Catholic retreat house. It's way over by the Ohio/Indiana line, so it's a drive. But it's a group of people who get together and write about spiritual topics. I find that as I age...there's less that I can do physically. So I try and find other activities that I enjoy that don't involve alot of physical pain! So this is one of them. (writing). I find that by the time I do everything in life that needs to be done...there's not much time or energy left to do the things I WANT to do. With working full time, and keeping a house and marriage going, and living with a daughter and a grandson who is in constant motion...some days I don't have alot of energy left! But I CAN sit at my keyboard and write! I really enjoy facebook, but it's so public that I can't really say what I really think and feel. And Journaling is very therapeutic; not to mention this is a way I can talk to my family! That's another area of my life that suffers...I just don't seem to have the time to talk to my family members. Maybe this will help! So my goal is to blog a couple times a week...should be fun!
