New Experiences

They say that you should try new things, but as I get older, I find that new experiences in unfamiliar territory can actually be somewhat frightening. "You should start a blog," said my daughter. "What's a blog?" says I.

I discovered that "blog" is actually computer-eze for "web log", which is actually a fancy name for diary. Ah, it's like writing everything down on a computer for the world to see instead of in a dairy on paper that has to be burned in the fireplace because you don't want anyone else to read it. I can do that!

After three months of thinking about it, I finally took the first step to starting a blog. I logged on to the computer! Then I followed the simple instructions given to me by my daughter, and this will now be my third attempt to get it to work because I keep getting error messages. Hence the reason that I hesitate to try new things, ESPECIALLY anything technological!

But, I can do this. Now I can write down all of my thoughts for everyone to read instead of just sharing them with the cat, who is old and deaf and doesn't hear me anyway. So here is your first installment of The Mom's Perspective. Stay tuned for future updates!
