Expectations

Jump to Comments

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.
