"After all," Anne had said to Marilla once, "I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string."
Anne of Green Gables, by L.M. Montgomery is one if my favorite books. I remember in 5th grade when my mom first read to book to me. Each night she would sit at the foot of my bed and read aloud. I fell in love.
Anne's simplicity of looking at life, and her eyes that refused to only see the ugly have inspired me in so many ways.
I first realized my love f0r writing while reading her books, and my dream to become a teacher. Even though I have such a long way to go, and cannot see beyond the "bend in the road" she she often mentioned, I am excited to make the trip and keep on keeping on.
Blogging never really came to my mind. That is, not until I started reading my friends blog, Reflections of Hope. It was inspiriting. I think I am becoming a little obsessed with the human mind...it is so flawed, yet so beautiful. I would like to spend a day in it, look around, maybe prod some...hehe, just kidding. But for real, it is just incredible.
And how can we express it? By words. Both written and spoken. I think that is amazing. Each and every word can carry such a weight. Can change in connotation just by how the writer manipulates it.
I'd say that's pretty incredible.
Anywho...I tent to think a lot. And write a lot. So, why not just bog about it, ay? That's what I'm saying.
So here I am.
Blogging.
First ever.
Can I get a hurrah?
Ok...nevermind...
So here are some of my thoughts, a little snipit from one human mind for some other mind to read and maybe digest.
I am excited, so, off we go!
