...About Beginning Again

I have enjoyed writing for as long as I can remember.  In junior high school, it was my favorite class and one of my favorite things to do when I was stuck indoors.  I would write short stories, short essays about various subjects, and even some songs.  I continued to write on a regular basis throughout high school and even during my college days (as short lived as those were).  However, once I got married, started having kids, and got on with the busyness of life and a career, my writing stopped.  I would venture to say that I have not written anything more than a card, short letter, or check in over twenty years. 

My oldest daughter loves to write and in my humble opinion, is very talented.  She has written many inspiring notes on Facebook and recently started a blog and reading her blog has inspired me to start writing again.  My postings will probably be rusty and uninspired to start, but will hopefully get better as I get back into it and get my creative juices flowing again (if there are any creative juices left in me).  I am certain my ponderings and thoughts and whathaveyou's will not have the creativity and depth that her's do, but as a parent, I have always wanted my children to go farther and do better than I have. 

I am not sure how often I will post here and when I do, it will probably include some of the things that I wrote back in high school and college, along with new thoughts as they come to me.  My goal of starting this blog is nothing more than to have an outlet for rekindling my passion for writing, for although my love of writing has never died, my pursuit of this passion has been dormant for way too long. 

My prayer is that through this blog, God will work in my life to make me a better husband, father, and man and possibly allow my thoughts to touch someone else's life in some small way.
