Dear Diary....

I was never good at keeping a diary when I was younger. I'm not sure why I thought I'd be able to maintain a blog.

I've always been attracted to the idea of keeping a journal. As a child I loved reading books that mimicked the diaries and inner thoughts of famous historical figures like Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth 1, and Marie Antoinnette. I wished that one day my thoughts and words would be as valuable as those of Anne Frank and others.

I've realized a few things. My thoughts are valuable. My words can be eloquent and honest. I just need to get off my lazy butt and write them!
