Hi, I'm not a blogger

A funny/odd title, I know, but I thought if I put it out there no one would feel obliged to tell me I am doing it all wrong :)

I LOVE blogs, in fact I am embarrased to say how much time I spend checking out my favorite ones. I can often be heard spouting off some news, ideas or inspirations, and I almost always preface it by saying I read it on a blog, or found out on Twitter.

So, if right off the bat I am saying I don't write or blog, why am I doing this? Memory. I used to love to journal and diary, although those diaries that came already dated where a huge stressor. I would start out dutifully and record my thoughts, feelings each and every day. Then, I'd miss a day, or two. Pretty soon the white spaces would stress me out and I would abandon the diary all together. Journalling was a better fit, and I do still have a number of journals I sometimes pick up, when time permits.

Ah, but the computer! I seem to be always close to one and I can record words much faster this way.

So, for HelloMornings, and whatever else seems to float my boat, I am going to try to record my thoughts, maybe some prayers and some questions. I hope to be able to read back, remember the feelings, and see how God has moved through circumstances and daily life.

Welcome to a transparent me. It likely won't be pretty, or well written, or fancy, but it will be honest!
