Starting Up Again

How do you do this thing?  How do you, in the middle of a busy life, stay faithful to something you really want to do?  How do you plan and set aside a regular time to blog?  Well, here I go, I will try again.
You know, the thing is, I always put people (friends, family and strangers) first.  I remember, when visiting my dear Aunt Jimmie out in Ft. Worth, there was never time for people because the house had to be spotless first.  Before a coffee cup was empty and sat on the table it was whisked up, washed and put away.   It really distressed me.  I felt like she was missing a lot of fun and even though I loved her beautiful pristine home I promised myself I would never be like that. Old and new friends will attest to the fact that I may be in the middle of a huge project but there will always be time to share a cup of tea or coffee.  Isn’t it funny what impacts our lives from a very early age?
I think the other thing that stops me in my tracks is my grammar skills.  Being the sister of a news paper editor is rather intimidating.  He always gets it right!  But you know what…he can’t make a brides bouquet or paint a picture…I can.  We just have different talents.
So here I go again…I hope you enjoy my writing, my photos and the sharing of my life.
Warm Hugs,
Beulah
