Holy God I wrote something down

I have just come back to view the blog ...... my blog ..... a little like a child opening the sitting room door to check did Santa really come and then slamming the door closed again in case they get caught. I can't believe I actually did it and posted a thought (even if its not an earth shattering thought) I did it.

I may never tell anyone I did this, but if in the future I do tell someone and you are reading this, it means I have really grown. I have grown to the extent that I am prepared to put myself out there and perhaps be laughed at, but for the moment I am not that person but I am really pleased with myself for just doing this much. A little step in the world of blogging a huge step for me.

Something New

Wow, actually my hands are shaking, I am committing my thoughts to paper (I know it's not paper but it is to my mind) something I have never done in the 45 years to date. Normally I don't share my thoughts with anyone other than myself and it is bizarre to think someone somewhere may read this.

What brought about this epiphany? ..... the clue is in the title ...... I am at least half way through my life (I know I should be so lucky as to last til 90) and its time to be honest even if its just in a virtual world and even if its just to me.

I watched the movie Julie/Julia last night (I will add a link at some point but I haven't got a clue how to do that, if you knew me you would be wildly impressed that I managed to get the blog going) and the idea of using blogging to move on your life really got me.

I have an idea of a journey I want to take and discuss on my site, a little like Julia Powell in Julie/Julia (nothing too exciting so you may wish to not come back to discover what it is) but I am too embarassed to mention it yet as I get more comfortable with the genre I will tell you.
