me??? blogging??

so a couple of years ago i began to write down a few of my thought thinking that someone would be interested in reading whatever i wrote down.  i was strong for a few entries, but then life just "took over".  

i'm horrible about putting pen to my thoughts....but my wife isn't.  she graduated as a journalism major from college and is pretty good about writing on her own blog. in some ways she is a inspiration for me to also share my 2 cents with the world.

so this blog will be about nothing and everything.....hopefully!!

let's start off with something light....

i just turned 32 years old earlier this week (maybe i'm growing through a mid life crisis, which would explain my urge to blog)  .... anyways, it got me thinking about who am i really??  i wish i had a concrete answer to that questions.  perhaps i'll spend the rest of my life contemplating the potential answers.
 
the one that seems to predominate in my mind, as of right now, is that i'm a collection of experiences that are mingled with hard trials and joyful victories.   i look back and see different people that have entered and exited my life with deep, long lasting impact.  Some of those people left strong positive impressions and some people not so much.  some of those hard battles were tough at the time, but have produced so much fruit since.

anyways, i think one of my goals this year is too reflect back on those positive impression that people made, and contact them to let them know how important they were to me, and how my experience with them has changed my character and who i am at the age of 32.

maybe you can as well.

i know by now you have noticed that i did not capitalize at the beginning of sentences, nor did i capitalize the letter "i"...... sorry, that's just who i am.  :)  

so a question for you.... will you keep reading if i write?
