An apprehensive "Take 1"

Wow! Here we go! The big plunge in the world of cyber-space. Will I need to pack a bag? What should I take with me? Do I need to make a "to-do" list for this? Wow, I am kinda feeling a bit inadequate here. I just spent the last few minutes, ok, almost an hour...reading Jamie B's blog and Jaime Lynn's blog and get this...my mother-in-law's blog! Holy cow, what is the world coming to? From Jaime Lynn I get inspired to drop everything and go scrap. And more specifically, to scrap a few memorializing pages about my Grandparents both on my side and on Jimmy's side. From Jamie B I am inspired to blog the everyday occurences and find joy in "living in the now". And from my ever so wise mother in law, Joy, I recieve inspiration to make the most of my life, my relationships, my time, my resources and it just makes me want to be a better person. She has such wisdom and insight on life that I would be foolish to not take heed to her counsel and experience. I am surrounded by such amazing examples! And I couldn't write about blogging without mentioning my sister and brother in law, Debbi and Jeff, in North Carolina. We all recieve updates and pictures from them several times a week. Even though we live on opposite sides of the country I still feel like we are connected and know what is going on in their lives. This also makes me realize that I am cheating them - and anyone else who cares to read about little ol' me and mine - the opportunity to do so. How selfish of me. And how selfish of me that I am not documenting my life, my successes and my struggles for my children and grandchildren to read and learn from. Can you imagine my future daughter in law(s) reading my journals/blog/whatever it will be called in the future and thinking those same thoughts about me that I think about Joy? Ok, no, I can't either, those are big shoes to fill. But what if? (All I can say is that I will be the first one in line to but her book whenever she decides to retire and become an author.) You all have inspired me. For that I thank you. And here goes nothin' - "take 1".
P.S. Confession time: It took Jimmy and I both a minute to figure out how to post on my own blog. I kept returning to the comments page. Then I found the "new post" prompt up in the corner. Duh! What can I say, I am a work in progress.
