Welcome to My World

"To live is the rarist thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." ~ Oscar Wilde

That, my friends, is my 2011 New Year's Resolution- to move beyond existing into LIVING. The kind of living that results in great stories; the kind of living that makes it OK to leave the dishes in the sink or the laundry unfolded on the couch; the kind of living that makes you smile from your front porch rocker at the retirement center as you remember "that time we....."

I have a great life (and you probably do too!) but I could use a little reminder that there is a lot going on outside the walls of this house (and you probably could too!). This blog, if all goes well, will be a glimpse into the little things (and sometimes perhaps the big things) that make me laugh, or wonder, or say, "I should have done that 10 years ago." Maybe I'll introduce you to a new band. Maybe I'll review a book you never read but should have. Maybe I'll convince you to do something crazy for a charity fundraising event. I don't know exactly where we'll finish but I know it'll be someplace more enriched than where we start because you never know when the thing you did on a whim will be your greatest passion.

When you don't want to go back through where you've been and you aren't sure of what lies ahead and you're stuck in a little rut, there has to be: Something More or Something Else. So, let's go find it!
