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.
