Since the beginning of the year, I've been seriously considering starting a blog. I've been reading and following some bloggers for about 3 months. Then I discovered Runs for Cookies Blog on Pinterest . After reading her blog, I've convinced myself that this would be a great creative outlet for myself. I started to sign up and then discovered something that rocked my world. I already had an account and I had a single lonely post from 1/1/2007. I read that single post and was blown away. I closed my web browser and decided I wasn't ready. But the thought that I wanted to create through writing did not go away, would not go away. I'd find myself thinking about things I'd write in a blog and how cool would it be to show this picture in my blog and on and on till today, here I am.
It's only fitting that today, I start blogging. . .again.
I went back and read my previous post from 5 years ago. Yes, 5 years, my life isn't really that much different. I have not really changed that much. I know that I weigh about 20 pounds less, but everything else is the same, EXCEPT for one key factor. Liz is gone. . .
February 13th will be the 3rd anniversary of her death. Time goes so quickly. I think I initially started this blog so that I could share with her things that were happening here at home while she lived her dreams out in North Carolina. I miss her dearly and think of her often. It has not snowed this year where we are in Texas and it saddens me because snow has represented Liz since she died. It's a long story, maybe one day I'll share.
Anyway, I've decided to leave the name of my blog the same - "An Ordinary Life" This is what I live. I'm an ordinary person. I'm married to a wonderful Man and have three wonderful children who keep me on my toes. I work a full time job, manage a household to the best of my ability and go to Church on Sundays. I do this week after week. Ordinary.
I've been wondering though what happens when ordinary people set out to do extra-ordinary things. How much change can one person actually make in the world? How much change can I make in the world? I know that whatever changes I want to make, I need to start here at home with myself and my family.
This blog is about self discovery, what changes can one ordinary person make. Your welcome to join me if you want, or not. It makes no difference to me.
