I so appreciate you reading my blog every day, it means so much to me.

Apparently, I’ve always been a good writer or story teller, I just didn’t like to write as a kid. I didn’t like reading the books that were assigned in school, but I devoured books. The first time I babysat my sister, my payment was to go to the bookstore and pick out any book I wanted, there began my love of Nancy Drew, not to mention reading.

I was reading things at a higher level than my grade for a long time, my parents were very involved in my education, both being teachers and very encouraging when it came to broadening my horizons. Please don’t get me wrong, my parents had to put up with a lot when it came to me and school, lets just say, I wasn’t a huge fan of school or that stuff they sent home every night, I’m, what’s it called? Some day, I might share the joys that I put them through.

I loved to tell stories, especially to babies, it’s so much fun using funny voices to tell them stories, I do it every chance I get. One of my most fond memories is when I met JT, CGS’s first, the Bar Mitzvah I just went to, when I first met him, I told him a story of the sea and Jacques Cousteau and I did all the voices, it was great.

My book reports in school were good, always got good grades on those, but I really started to excel in my writing in college. I remember a few papers I wrote that my professor loved. The first was a description of my grandmother’s house, I did such a good job, she wanted to visit. The next paper I did that I still have and am quite proud of, and maybe I’ll repost it here some time was to compare Homer’s Odyssey with the Wizard of Oz, my favorite movie. I’m not a big fan of Greek mythology, but I had a great time comparing the two and writing the paper.

I had friends growing up, (yes, I had friends, ha ha) who had to write stories, paragraphs, I am so l I never had to do that, thank you mom and dad!

My dad asked why I blog every day, aside from it being something I wanted to do for a year, it was something I thought I might enjoy and I have to tell you, I have enjoyed it. In some ways it’s creative and in some it’s an outlet. I love that I am able to auto post to Facebook and twitter, it allows some people to see it every day. When I hear friends say its like sitting across the table from me every day,they know what’s going on in my life and that to me is great!

There are some days I have no idea what to write until I start typing and some days not even then! Other days, I have at least 4-5 different things I think about to write and why do I wait until 10, 11:00, midnight even? I have no idea! But they say it takes 21 days to form a habit and here we are, after midnight, I must have formed that habit.

I am also getting inspired to finish my book I can’t wait, I think it’s going to be good, but then I am slightly biased. I’ve also been thinking about other things I’d like to write about, other books, but I’m not telling.

One of the reasons I wanted an iPad was so that I could have something light to keeps with me so I could write whenever and I have. It’s also been great when I teach a class,I have the documents right there and I don’t need a big training manual.

So, in conclusion, this was a very long winded and rambling post and I want to say again, thank you for reading my blog every (or almost) day.
