Welcome to WordPress.com. This is your first post. Edit or delete it and start blogging!
This is such a curious world. The land of the bloggers. I’m nearly paralyzed at the gate for not knowing the blog lingo – turbo, tags, links, etc – which is probably requisite for survival. So, then, why am I venturing into this world? Hm? I’m really quite content to scribble in my journal with a gel pen, and yet some greater urge is prompting me out of hiding. Perhaps the same urge that had me beg for prayers in email blasts, and promenade on Main Street with my freshly shaved head. But, I’m getting ahead of myself here. I want to start at the beginning to tell my story in chronological order so that I might learn more deeply by discovering anew.
My intention for this blog is to review the healing journey that began about this time last year. It was just about now in the gray-toned, damp gold, bone cold of November 2008 when I found the lump. That’s why I selected the MistyWorld template – the naked trees, still pond dappled with leaves, the bridge – to illustrate the mood of the first couple of posts. I want to call the blog Lump Lessons, but I’m not sure how to add a title to the template. Perhaps I’ll learn about wordpress & blogging as I re-learn my lump lessons along the way.
Well, that’s a start: a user name, password, template, and first post. Now, to sort through the stacks of notes and correspondence on my office floor, the journals, and the email, in order to tell the story in detail and in an orderly fashion. This first post is the blah blah blah scratch that is so necessary for the writing process — the pump clean paragraphs before the true flow that an editor would lop off, no doubt. Hm? Maybe that’s why.
Since I am new at this, I don’t imagine that anyone will read this post unless I send out the blog address to friends & family. However, if someone stumbles onto my path, then wow I’m thrilled that you’re here to share this with me. A ha. That’s why I’m blogging — I don’t want to walk this way alone.
Love it.. . very happy for you!!
