A beginning, a dawning, an inception, an outset, an opener, an origin.....a start
As a mother, I hope that I am teaching my children to seek the positive in situations and especially in themselves. Any parenting book around will tell you that the best way to teach your child is to model the behavior yourself. So I am learning, perhaps striving, to seek the positive in the situations and people around me, especially myself.
And so I arrive at the beginning of my first blogging experience searching for the positive in an ordinary life. I have no idea where this blog will lead or why I have begun blogging, other than it piques my interest. Whether it interests anyone else, remains to be seen!
There's nothing extraordinary about the life I live...I'm a regular mom of five children, working full time for an adoption agency, trying to balance work, life, and time for myself in amongst the every day happenings of what in today's world would be considered a "large" family.
One thing is certain, I am a great starter! I have begun many home projects, books, work concepts, etc... It remains to be seen if I can become a more accomplished "finisher". Perhaps one of the purposes of this blog is to motivate myself in that direction, to challenge myself to follow through and continue with something I've begun.
Cheers to beginnings!!!
