I've spent a lot of time thinking about what the first post on my page should be. I hate it when people say stuff like "this is the first time I've ever posted on a blog". Isn't that obvious by the absence of any other entries? So I won't be saying that.
What I will say, is that thinking about posting something on a blog has made me pay attention to my life in a way that I haven't in a long time. It's made me think about what others might like to read about what's going on in my life. It's kind of one of those philosophical things -- like you don't really know yourself until you see yourself through the eyes of your friends. Or something like that. I'm sure I'm butchering that. (Do you think that butchers ever get offended by that last statement?)
So here's to writing about things you hope other people will want to read. And to friends who encourage you to blog (Susie!).
