Day One (or the beginning)

Hopefully, it's the start of a new journey. I spent some time last night thinking about all the things I would like or need to do courtesy of "cool people I know". And there's a lot of them, I mean a lot. But one of the easiest to begin will be to keep a daily journal/blog. I hope that over time, this will become less than a list of things to do and more a recognition of the beauty and joy that surrounds me and perhaps the things that I care about.

People talk about passion ~ and I don't know that I have passion in my life. I like my logical mind too much for it to be overridden by love, lust, or even anger. There are consequences to each of our actions, and to do something because your emotions rule you, regardless of the consequences, is something I cannot do. I like control, routine, and understanding. That doesn't mean that I am a heartless, boring, uncreative person, it just means that I seem to approach things with perhaps a more detached manner than people are used to. I like to process my options in my head before acting, or see the finished result long before I get there. Often, it doesn't end up the way I thought, but that's not the end of the world either.

Navel gazing - the bane of the blog, but this is for me first and for others later.
