Day 2 – Things That Stand Out

February 27, 2018 – Today’s challenge is to keep a list of things that you notice/stand out. What makes you stop and think for a moment. It’s supposed to be an ongoing list – not just things for the day.

This morning’s sunrise. The clouds were tinted a beautiful pink.
Ice – there’s ice everywhere I walk. I am constantly walking with my head down to make sure I don’t slip and fall.
Longer days. Our daylight hours are increasing by a few minutes each day. Signals that spring is coming and I made it through another dark, cold, desolate winter. It’s nice to walk the dog in daylight and it’s nice to come home and it’s not dark.

Why start blogging now?

Simple. There comes a point in your life when you realize what is important – what you want to do with your time. I have always loved writing. Well, I shouldn’t say “always”. I remember each fall we used to have to write a story about what we did during our summer vacation. Those were not fun to write – mostly because I grew up poor and we didn’t “do” anything per se. We just spent the summer being kids. I’m not sure when it morphed into wanting/loving to write other than it’s an outlet for me.

Over the course of my lifetime, I’ve put pen to paper (and now fingers to keyboard) to write down thoughts and, on occasion, some fiction. I saved them and will start to post them here.
