Expectations
If there is one thing that has kept me from getting started here, it is the introductory post. I’ve always felt that it should say a bit about you and set the tone for what is to come. The problem is, if I don’t know what to expect, how in the world do I convey that without just coming out and saying it? So there it is. I don’t know what you’ll find here. It could be anything. Knitting, gardening, hunting, stories about crazy folks I’ve met along the way.
One thing I’ve recently realized is, in a way, my grandmother was right. I am a quitter. But I prefer to think of myself as a starter. When I find something new that interests me, I dig right in and find out everything I can about it (at least what my free time allows). Sometimes, at that point, I find out it’s not for me. Other times, I discover that my only goal was to excel at this given thing and, once I reach that point, boredom ensues and it’s on to the next thing, whatever that may be. So, in that, even I don’t know what to expect. All I can hope is that it’s interesting and, at the very least, I’ll have a diary of past immersions.
Maybe I’ll become a rollergirl, a politician, or a deep sea diver. Maybe I’ll travel. See Bigfoot or a Chupacabra. Only time will tell.
