I first started keeping a journal back in August of 2006. At that time I needed a place to put my thoughts.  As time went on I started writing a little of this and that, and in November, after posting some of it on a forum, was given the suggestion, not in a nice way, of opening a blog.  This had not crossed my mind as I was not very versed in world of the internet.  After opening it, my blog became kind of an account of my journeys through that year.  Now that a year has passed I’m knocking around new ideas but still am unsure  what avenue to take with the writing so I will keep to the same road here.
