THE FIRST STEp

A beginning at the end.

What luck --to be looking for gainful employment and stumble across a site that allows me to begin a blog without furnishing a credit card number. I had no idea it could be so easy.

So X, here I sit at the end of 2005, appreciating the gift. The gift of being able to publish my thoughts, loves, pains and passions...a beginning. I will blog rather than spending endless nights writing to an unresponsive hard drive.

The rain is falling, the children are gone, the holiday guest has departed and the dog is laying across the bottom of my warm, cozy bed. It will not let go of me --it envelopes my entire soul, protecting me from the world.

One could say that this bed of mine is a cage --a dark place where I recoil from the harshness of the world. They would probably be right.

I am hoping that this new form of communication will produce a stronger, more effective human. One that will have an impact.
