Sistahs

Sistahs.......you know those girlfriends who really, REALLY "get" you. I just spent a lovely, leisurely, fabulous day with two of mine. The only two of my "real" friends. I love our times together, it's filled with much laughter, love, thought, and a little meanness thrown in for good measure. I'm not lucky enough to have a naural-born sister, I have brothers. But I have had the good fortune to be blessed with these two soul sistahs whom I love and adore. I love it that they make me feel alive and valued, smart; and I love that they expand my mind. How many people that you come in contact with, can you actually say 'expand your mind'? Not many in my life anyway, but I think that is why I treasure my sistahs and our times together all the more. And our time together is not enough, let me be the first to tell you that.

And here is another thing that I love that I think is few and far between these days..........long friendships. The kind that span years of time. How great is it to look back with a friend and reminisce? It's fun to do that with family too, however with family you are just forced together naturally. But with a friend, you have chosen each other. The time that you spend together is a hot commodity, because let's be honest we really only give our "quality" time to those we truly love. Anyways, thank you my sistahs, for making me feel alive.

There's a First Time for Everything

I can't believe that I'm blogging! Seriously, I've always admired bloggers, loved reading blogs and finally I decided to do it myself. What the heck, throw caution to the wind, right? I've been itching to log my thoughts somewhere, and so I bought a journal, (and a really beautiful one at that) however I just can't bring myself to write in it. I find this type of format more appealing for some reason. Maybe it's because I like to type? I like the sound of the clicking keys under my fingers recording my thoughts, maybe-I don't know yet. Anyhoo, I've got so much going through my mind on a daily basis I really wanted a place to bring it all together. Not that it will all go together, mind you, because that is not how I work, or think.

So I guess this would be an introduction of sorts.........not really sure to say about myself that isn't already in my profile. You'll probably get to know more about me as this blogs plays itself out. I don't have any grandiose ideas about how often I'll post, or how deep and meaningful they'll be. I don't want to put conditions upon it, because I know I will disappoint myself that way. I always do.

I really wanted to add a pic of myself for the first blog, but couldn't find one that I like enough. Maybe I will work on that today.
