In the beginning...(of MY BLOG)

So, a friend of mine, Bruce, e mailed me a link to a blog and suggested I check it out because he thought that it was something I could do and "do well". I really didn't know what a blog was when I visited it, and realized it was just some woman discussing her daily life, in a clever and witty manner. Well, I thought, I could do that. After all, I am a published poet, who runs a website that offers a service to clients who want poems/toasts composed for a special occasion. It is something that I love doing, since I play a role in the celebration of people's lives. I can be clever! I can be witty! I am clever! I am witty! It's easy to get jaded when looking at the world view, and particularly, the unusual difficulties we are facing in our country. So, when a loving husband is searching for a unique way to express his feelings towards his wife of 30 years, my faith in humanity is renewed. Then, upon hearing the endearing qualities of a loved one, again I am reminded that people are, for the most part, wonderful creatures, despite what the evening news tells us!

With this in mind, I spoke with my web design guy, Sylvester, about the possibility of hooking a Blog up to specialoccasionpoetry.com. He said he didn't know much about Blogs. But, then the next morning, Sly called to tell me to go to my website. When I logged on, I saw that he had included "MY BLOG" in the navigation area of my homepage. Sure enough! I had a BLOG! You should know it took me a couple of hours this morning to get to the point where I could actually create my first blog. Well, look at me...I'm freakin' blogging...or am I....guess I have to look at the preview. Excuse me while I explore this blog and attempt to learn the intricacies of links, and actually go out and discover what other bloggers are all about. Will this become a wonderful endeavor or will it turn out to be something I file under "Be careful what you wish for." (?) Stay tuned...
