My attempt at blogging...

For the past month or so I've enjoyed reading the daily blogs of a dear friend. As I read her thoughts and the life record she is keeping on-line, I think that perhaps I want to start my own blog to share thoughts and employ some of the creative writing skills that I believe I have. Afterall, I was an agricultural journalism major in college. I need to keep writing and goodness knows I need to get my thoughts out much more often than I do. So here is my attempt.

Although the "cheaperthantherapy" blog name was already reserved, I'm hopeful that this will be exactly that for me.

Don't get me wrong, my life is not extremely messed up, but we all need a little therapy once in a while. In fact, my life is probably pretty stable according to the standards. My hubby of 2.5 years and I live in a small town (pop. 1200). We both commute to other towns for work - he in city government and I for a Big Ten University. I have a loving family, hobbies, and a cute little cat named Ally. All this and the daily tasks that come with maintaining a household quite totally fill my days.

That brief explanation just scrapes the surface and I'm hoping to delve much deeper through my writings on this blog. I hope you will enjoy reading what I appreciate writing and come along with me as I tip toe, walk and leap through "Life's stepping stones."
