This week I was inspired by a friend. I won't get into the details because it is not my story to tell. I can't tell you how significant the decision was, because I am not her. What I can tell you is that she made a courageous decision. It made me think that courageous decisions, be they small or large, are the foundation of lives that are worth living. Every time we decide to make a change in our lives, or the lives of those around us, we are making a courageous decision. We are stepping out of a place of comfort, a place in which we naturally want to stay.
So what does this have to do with this blog? For a number of years I have wanted to write a book. It wouldn't be a work of fiction, or necessarily anything that many people would want to read. It would be more of an opportunity for me to think some things through and put them down on paper (the need for this will probably become more clear in coming posts). It would be more of a growth experience for me than anything else. Sort of Ken's thoughts about what really matters in life.
That's where this blog comes into play. I am going to start writing thoughts down here. They may seem random, they may be humorous, they may be serious and sometimes they may seem ridiculous. I don't expect to gather a following. The goal is to have a place to put my thoughts down as they come so that when I am ready to put some things together, they will be here. So thanks to my friend for inspiring me to finally do something I haven't had the courage to do in the past.
