Day 1 - Dang Resolutions!

Happy New Year!  I wake up to a text buzz (which in my case is a bird chirping).  It's my son announcing his great New Year's Eve experience with a photo, his arms around a beautiful girl.  Well, someone's year is off to a good start.  This is at 7:41am - AM!!!  That kid has not let me sleep in for over 24 years!  I sat on the edge of my bed thinking, oh yeah, it's 2015, I guess I should make some resolutions.  So I think a little.  Lose weight?  Too obvious.  Keep the house clean?  Are you crazy, Beth!  So I thought, what do I love to do but don't do enough of.  Birding and writing.

I have been wanting to start a blog for a long time, but all the buttons one has to push to get a free blog is maddening, so I've always bailed out.  Now at 8:41am, an hour after I've answered all the inane questions BlogSpot wants out of me, here I am, making a commitment to blog everyday.  What was I thinking?!  What will you get out of this blog if you decide to read it now and again?  You will get an insight into the inner workings of a bench warmer who's trying her best to get off the bench.  I'll write about observations, birding, my faith, my family (when they'll let me); a hodgepodge of topics that will keep you coming back (I hope) because you won't know what you're going to get when you stop in.

So I invite you on this journey with me of getting off the couch . . . I mean, bench, and looking at life a little more vibrantly.  Vibrant enough to make an interesting story out of it, anyway.
