     For me, blogging is a way to record my adventures, stories, or just the daily grind of life. My goal for blogging is not a personal or political agenda, but merely for practice. Once upon a time I could write and write well, but with time and disuse my skills have deteriorated. This blog is a journal and a scrapbook, a way to share my pictures, my stories, and my life with whomever wants to get a healthy dose of jealousy (let's face it: I have a great life and am SO BLESSED!).

     Anyway, all that to say, we all have our reasons for blogging. Mine is to keep me sane and entertained in the dog days of summer in a new city, and to give me something to look back on in years to come. Hopefully, my writing style will improve so one day, one day, I will finally write the book that has been swimming in my mind for years.

     Hello world, and happy blogging.
