So, one of the people I most admire and most hate in equal parts has had a blog for some time now...and each time I read it, I think, hey, my life is just as exciting as hers. So I figured, why not stop being jealous, and start writing?
But every blog needs a starting point, the impetus to actually write. Mine? Finding my Daybreak. A few weeks ago, Jason and I watched a movie on our typical Sunday night together called "Morning Glory," a really cute movie about a girl who pursues her passion-in her case, directing a morning TV show called Daybreak. It was funny, and had great actors, and best of all, had a perfect happy ending. And at the end, Jason turned to me and said, "That's what you need to do: find your Daybreak. Find your passion and go after it."
Now anyone who knows me well knows that his encouragement to pursue my passions led me to the disaster that was Clear Creek, so I've been hesitant to even believe it was possible. But now, Jason is gone to his new life in Fairbanks, I've given the majority of my animals and a lot of my favorite possessions away, and I'm at a point in life when my future seems to be a rather blank slate. There are a myriad of possibilities I can pursue, in relationships, in my career, in my location, and especially in my outlook.
So what better time to start blogging about my journey to become the person I want to be?
This is better than Facebook, because there are no status updates that are in your face, forcing you to hear what I have to say. If you find this interesting, please continue to follow along. And if not, no harm, no foul. But if you do choose to follow my journey, I welcome your thoughts, encouragement, suggestions, and even criticism. But mostly your encouragement.
It's a journey we've all walked, albeit in different styles of shoes.
