Enjoy the Journey

My first day. My very first entry. I thought it would be fun and exciting. Instead, when I sit here and view this blank screen, it's actually quite intimidating. I'm going to try to jump right in and get started. My main reason for beginning this blog journal in the first place is to organize some of my thoughts, hobbies and favorite photos into one place. By nature (or because of my mother!) I tend to be a very organized person. I am very "hands on", so I'm not sure this will be easy for me. I like to hold a pen or pencil in my hands and actually write, draw or scribble on pieces of paper. Better yet, I love writing on a brand new, cutesy notepad or in a fresh, clean journal. Can you tell by now that I'm an obsessed list maker?! But, it seems the older I get, the less scattered I prefer things to be. Hopefully, this will be a place where I can keep in touch with my family and friends. It will become a "home-place" to collect different things that are important to me.
