Who Are You Talking to?

I was "one of those people" who never liked raising my hand in class unless I had something completely new to add to the conversation.  Even then, it was still a bit cringe-worthy.  

I guess I may have felt the same way about starting a blog.  I wondered, "who cares about what I have to say?"  "Do I really have anything new or different to offer from what anyone else does?"  

While in bed wrestling pain with my newest non-addictive prescription medication and my superhero cape (aka my VERY large moist heating pad), I scrolled my local library's online digital magazines (free with a library card) on my smartphone.  After making a selection and reading the articles, it registered just how much I truly enjoy reading.  

Some of the articles suggested blogs.  I read a few blogs.  I enjoyed reading those too and the realization sunk in...I don't have to have something revolutionary to say, I just need to speak the truth about my life. 

My hand is raised.
