It has been such a long time since I updated my blog last. Nothing is really going on around here. We are just trying to get ourselves all caught up. And we are close. Thanks to the church and friends. I am also so busy with work. I miss my family when I am gone. I want to be home with them. It has been so long since I have written anything on my blog that I every time I sat down to write, I got writers block. So, to get the creative juices flowing again, I am going to write a nonsensical blog with no substance to it. No update on our comings and goings, no earth shattering lessons of life that I have picked up on, no real content. I just wanted to sit down at the computer and let my fingers fly for a couple of minutes. I have almost forgotten the sensations of the keypad beneath my fingers and the sheer pleasure I find in seeing my thoughts translated into words for all to see. So many times in a day, words pound against my head, struggling to find a way out. I need to write, just as much as I need sleep. One day, my dream would be to write a book. I would love to type my name into Amazon and see something I created for all to buy instead of a list of creations I have bought from others. One day...even if it never gets published, even if it sits in a three ring binder for just my loved ones to read...one day..it would be nice to write a book. Mostly for my kids. I would love to show them that you can accomplish your dreams. Be it a trip to the summit of Everest, or to hold a college degree in your hands. I want them to feel like they can cure cancer, or swim the English Canal, or paint a masterpiece, or even write skits for Saturday Night Live. I want them to have the courage to reach for their dreams. My dad told me once that you should always aim for the moon, because even if you miss, you will still end up among the stars. So now I have come to the end of my free writing experiment. When I sat down at the computer, I had no idea where my fingers would take me, and it has ended up here.

Last night I was messing around with some pictures on our computer, and this is what I came up with. Again, something a little nonsensical, but it was fun. And, yes, it has nothing to do with my blog post today.









Now, I am hoping that since I have returned to the world of blogging, it won't be so hard for me to sit down at the computer and write.
