The why

It seems these days, there is a blog for every topic.  So every time I sit down to write, I think to myself, why are you doing this? What do you possibly have to offer to the world?  I lead a pretty average life so why would anyone care to read what I have to say?  But I've realized it's not what others gain from my perspective that really matters to me, but that I learn to be more open and willing to share and to let others in...plus what I write here becomes a sort of record of my life:  my own personal history, a memoir of sorts that allows me to remember where I've been and a guide that reminds me where I am going- a way to reflect on my journey and hopefully to inspire myself to do one thing each day to make the world a little better.  So I am going to go full-steam ahead with this blog and try to make an entry at least once a week.  Wish me luck!
