Starting out....

So, why am I here? Good question. Why are any of us here. But it's more managable to answer the question of why am I here in this blog. See, it's like I have this continual conversation going on, with myself, in my head. And I quite often would like to say the things I'm thinking out loud, but who would I say them to? No one really wants to sit and listen to other people blather on about themselves and their opinions. And I tried the whole "if you keep a journal and just write your thoughts out, it will be like sharing them." But that didn't work either, because what's the point of spending all that time writing if no one is going to read it. Then I realized that I read blogs. And I know other people who read blogs. And what is a blog but a written document of people blathering on about themselves and their opinions? So, here I am.

Who am I? Another big question. I think the nutshell version would be best at this point. I am a girl. From the midwest. In my thirties. I have a husband, and we live in a house, with some pets, but no kids. I have a job where I work with tweens (a term I don't really like but use anyway because it does kind of fit that odd in-between age) and sometimes their parents. I'm a yoga practitioner in mind and body. I'm a runner in mind and body. I love reading books. I love music. I love baking things. I love taking pictures. I love chocolate down to the very core of my soul. I will use any excuse to indulge in its wonderful richness.

I think that since I've managed to create my first ever blog post, that's another excuse to eat some chcolate right there!

Enjoy your day.
