This is my first attempt at blogging, so don't make fun. I'm not sure how this is supposed to go, so it'll have to be a work in progress. Kind of like me. I just turned 35 on Sunday, so you would think that I would have myself figured out. Well, at least I think I should have myself figured out.
I think this can be fun. I'm not completely sure how I'm going to use this blog. I'm hoping it will take shape as time goes on.
And, no, I'm not a lesbian or gay or anything like that, if that's what you think from reading my blog's title. I was just listening to that song yesterday and it speaks to me.
I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
The best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously,
it's only life after all.
(Indigo Girls - "Closer to Fine")
It is only life after all. And I do want to be able to take it less seriously.
I look at the guys I grew up with and they all seem to be doing well. Some better than others, but they seem to be happy and have a lot going on for them. I guess I do. I mean I have my Colleen and a lovely little house to live in and a job and a car and a few friends. I'm happy. I guess happier when I'm not comparing myself to others.
But I shouldn't be sad. It's a beautiful day outside today. It's the first day of spring. Days are getting longer and slowly getting warmer here in the mountains. Soon, as I was telling Colleen earlier today, it will be warm enough to sit outside in the evenings and enjoy a beer or a cocktail.
So here's to spring.
