Well, I am going to attempt a blog for myself. I have enjoyed reading other bloggers very much and have been afraid to put my thoughts out where others could read. Mostly because I don't have that much to say. I live in my little 2 bedroom apartment and immerse myself in reality TV and sometimes forget that reality is just outside the door. It is easy to forget that when you are living by yourself. I have never been married and I live life to the fullest, and thanks to my family, I am never alone.
Family is the most important aspect of my life. If I didn't have family around, I would become certifiable and not a nice person. They keep me grounded. I would sit and ramble off every member of my family, but I know the consequences of doing that. You see, a few years back, I wrote a little book for me, that I shared with my family. I planned it for a year and would randomly ask the grandkids this question, "How much do you love me?" during that time. Some of the answers were hilarious and I will share them someday, but the book is packed away at this time. But I took those answers and created a little kids story and had a friend draw some of the pictures. I ran out of time for that part of it. I dedicated it to my family and I listed everyone's name down to the last grandchild born. I made 7 copies, hand colored them all, laminated them, had a binding put on and gave them away for a Christmas present. It was the best Christmas that year. Then one of the kids said, "Carla, I thought you had a sister named Stacy." My heart sank a fathom. I had left off my dear little sister who had passed away. So, from now on, when I say all of my family, they know who they are and they know I love them.
You know, it is kind of theraputic to sit at a computer and just write. I think that I am going to like this.
