I’m back to write again. I’ve decided I like it. The thrill of getting my words out there. And that there are people who actually read and appreciate it. This morning, before leaving for office, I logged in to check if I got any comments and I was thrilled that I had. A lovely post that gave me motivation to continue.

Of course, I had to call my best friend. At 51, do we still have ‘best’ friends? And if they’re the only friend, do they still earn the title of best? The musings of a random mind…

Well, to get back to the point, I called my (only) friend and told her that I’d started a blog. Don’t worry, I’ll get to my experience on friends in a separate post that will earn its in place in the Hall of Blogs. And no, I’m not a lonely antisocial hermit. I just prefer animals to people. Because people never fail to disappoint. Again and again and again.

I digress again. So, I called my friend on my way to work and told her that I’d started a blog and the first thing she said was, “I’m glad you finally did it. You told me you wanted to do this years ago.”

After our conversation, I still had about an hour left of my drive, so I started listening to a podcast by Mel Robbins. In fact, I listened to a couple of her podcasts today on my way to work and back. And in one way or another, in summary, the message in them all was to follow your dreams – big or small. So, yes, maybe starting a blog is a small dream, but its mine. And I hope it can become bigger and better. If I ever figure out how to work the damn templates – I seem to have a large pink square on what is called the home page?!

But, yes, on a serious note, I’m committed to this now. I feel good about it; I have all my thoughts lined up. I was tempted to write a more meaningful post today but then I decided to follow up on yesterday’s post with a quick ‘hi’ and ‘I’m still here’. I want to write a separate post on each of my dogs. To tell their story. And separate stories on my garden, on people, and on me – the many sides of me. Not forgetting friends. It’s all there in my head and now all my stories will find their home.

Until then, stay

Fiery
