A New Blog Unfolds

When going to bed at night, instead of thinking about the day's events and slowly drifting into sleep, I write... in my head. Makes a lot of sense, right? So, two nights ago I could not fall asleep, probably due to my afternoon nap (my husband, Brodie, likes to call this hibernation) and there I am, tossing and turning in bed. Before I know it, I'm thinking about my lack of blogging and start writing (figuratively), coming up with a title and the best blog post ever. Of course, by morning it was gone.. but it did get me thinking and now here I am.

My goal, like many other bloggers is to find the beauty and laughter in the simple moments of life. Those which take you off guard, as a smile creeps over your face. And I'm not meaning one of those, "Oh nice to meet you" smiles, but one that's genuine as it overtakes your frame and sparks something within. May sound cheesy, yes, but you know it's worth a shot. I think it's a pretty valuable thing to realize the times which make you happy, and maybe I can even bring a smile or two to one of your (my fellow readers) faces.
