What am I doing here?

Why have I started this blog? Me, who 6 months ago had barely heard of blogs and had never read one. I never thought I’d be putting my thoughts, hopes, dreams and fears out on the Internet, for the world to see. And criticize. And I may still run screaming from my computer, afraid to face the world, after my first few attempts. But I want to do this. For me.

I just turned 39 in January. I know that 39 isn’t the big milestone that I’ll be facing next year. But it made me stop and take a minute to think about where I am. I’ve got a great husband, 2 great kids, love ‘em to death, but it sometimes feels like I’ve been living the past 13 years for other people. Worried about everyone else, is everyone else ok. And it should be that way, to a certain extent. It’s part of having a family. But turning 39 made me want to take back some of my life for myself. Make a part just for me. Right now, this blog is that part.
