Trying This Out

This is harder than I thought. I've re-written this first line about ten times, and I've only been attempting this for 30 seconds. The first line is the hook (that's what I tell my students at school, anyway). It's what determines whether people decide to keep reading or move on. Most likely, with a hook like mine, people will move on, but that's okay. This is my first blog. It's probably NOT going to be my moment of greatness. I've accepted this fact. 

So...blogging. I've finally given in. I'm always amazed at what some of my blogger friends have written. Maybe that is why I have put off writing a blog for so long - blog envy. :) Somehow, they are able to make insightful, poetic, and often, witty observations on life's everyday moments. Those moments are magically turned into perspective-altering, memory-making, un-everyday-moments through the creative use of words. When I attempt to write about these moments, they are just, well...boring. For this reason, I wisely removed the "followers" option that can be displayed on the blog-page. I didn't want to be embarrassed by my big fat ZERO. So, I deleted it. Problem solved. 

I thought my first blog would be about something monumental. Maybe a resolution for 2012, or a deep insight into who I am and who I want to be. Not so much. But it's okay. I'm kind of liking this blog thing. Sending my words out there for (no one) everyone to read. Today may not have been my moment of greatness in the blogging world, but I have a feeling that eventually, if I keep this up, I may just have one...
