Here's to New Beginnings

Hello, again.  I am going to try this blogging thing again.  I am leaving any expectations of having readers behind. I am not doing this for anyone else.  I have been reminded two days ago what it is to be an artist.  This reminder appeared on my Facebook newsfeed.  This is what I saw and what I said regarding it.

"Yes, it is a way of life and also very rarely a way to make a living. Even some of the most famous creators' (painters/writers/poets) work did not earn/cost a lot of money until after the creator passed.
A person HAS to want to do it for the creative outlet that it is - not for large amounts of fame or money because it is most likely not to come - and for the creation's ability to touch another soul."

I am sitting here to put action behind my words.  During a small group discussion at a recent Bible Study, I was reminded that I AM a writer.  I have a way with putting words together that is descriptive and can be quite elegant.  Writing IS my outlet.  I haven't quite worked out how this is going to blend with my journal quite yet, but I will figure it out.  After all, I am creative!

It is Saturday.  That means Doctor Who and The Last Kingdom on BBC America.  I will post this and I will be back soon.
