First off, I finally have a profile pic, a milestone for me. I have been resolutely anonymous till now, and I'm still not showing a lot of my cards, but at least I have a face. Thanks to all for the tech help. The obvious solution is the one you just don't see. When I think of you all now, and ask "What have you done for me lately?", I'll have a ready answer.
I have brought over a bunch of blogs from my Yahoo 360 homepage. These represent the first journaling I had ever done. I am fifteen years out of college, and writing is something I always loathed. Yet, I found myself compelled to lay down my story for the world. Writing is now one of my favorite activities.
When I began blogging, my intent was to create something funny and a little poignant. I managed to stay on this track for a couple weeks. Then I made a left turn into darker territory as my marriage began foundering. These pieces are from March 2008, and include a couple of bio entries, if you would like to know the back story. I am bringing these over so that I can spend less time giving background info in my current posts. Leaping into a new community after establishing myself elsewhere requires some backtracking on my part. It's not right to mention things out of context.
I hope this doesn't feel like overkill. Having a new venue is exciting for me, and I'm prone to overdoing things when I get the adrenalin going. Enough 'splainin'! Next time I'll actually have something to say, I promise.
Musings: It's All About Community

Nice 'splaining. You'll find that coming to Blogger is like riding a locomotive. You begin to gain friends, comment on their posts, and in time more and more people will begin to follow, read, and comment on your stuff too. What I'm saying (to everyone who might be new to this ) is that don't give up early on when reading around Blogger. Care enough about other's posts, and you'll soon see they care about yours.
