And so it begins...

This is my first attempt at a blog.  So, please be patient with me and not too harsh.  I  don't think I have anything interesting to say, but I needed an outlet.  I am a chronic insomniac.  Instead of sleeping, I think about so many different things.  I cover the spectrum on topics.  I could be thinking about the economic crisis in a foreign country or simply trying to remember my floor routine from gymnastics back when I was 13.  I was advised to keep a journal of my thoughts, which might help me go to sleep earlier.  That is the main point of this blog.  When I do sleep, I have really cool dreams that I always mean to write down.  Maybe now I will actually keep a log of them here.  I have so much going on in my tiny head that I am afraid I won't be able to share my incoherent thoughts with any clarity.  I am going to be optimistic and attempt this anyway. 

 I am also a very deep thinker and I am going to use this to get your input on my various 'thoughts of the day'.  Another thing I plan to do with this blog is to share some of my favorite recipes.  I am a very picky eater, but when I find something I like, I want to share it with others.   Be warned, I put commas where they don't need to go and sometimes I leave them out completely.  I also LOVE to end a sentence with a preposition.  I am aware that I am breaking the rules of punctuation, but I simply don't care.  We shall see where this goes and I am so happy that you are going on this journey with me.  This blog is going to be so eclectic that it might actually be interesting to read for those who know me best.

Here we go....
