New Beginnings

Today I officially post my first blog. My biggest fear is that no one will read it. I'm doing this to fulfill a requirement for a class I'm taking called Writing In the Public Sphere (or English 240). Of course, the hope is that I'll enjoy it enough to continue, or that others will enjoy it enough to want to read it.

I am a single mom of three amazing daughters, and they are truly the light(s) of my life. If someone had told me 30 years ago that I'd be happy as a single mom, I would have told them they were crazy. But I love my life. Of course, it would be nice to have an awesome, godly man to share it with, but apparently, that's not what the Lord has planned for me right now. And for an awesome, godly man...I can wait!

In the meantime, I am busy keeping my youngest (Rosemary) happy. Yes, that sounds dramatic, but since she's the last one left at home-and a senior in high school-I really do give her most of my attention. That is, when I'm not studying or at school. So tonight, my realization is that my life is pretty mellow (or pathetic, depending on how you look at it). Rose is gone for the evening and the highlight for me is that I got to watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune without hearing her complain. So as I ate dinner (smoked salmon, which I cannot serve for dinner when Rose is home), I visited with Alex Trebec and Pat Sajak. It was a lovely break. But now I'm back at the grindstone and yes, as a matter of fact, this is my homework. Way better than the assignments I have for my English 515 class, that one's gonna kill me.

So I have no actual exciting story or brilliant anecdote for today. This is basically a grand experiment to see if anyone even checks this out. I promise if you return, I'll give you something interesting to read. Give me a comment so I'll know you were here.

Have a blessed day!
