Any other time than this.

 For a long time, I have been aching to start writing again. I would say, "if I had a laptop", or "when I can find the right blogging platform" or "when I am not so busy", you get the point. But during that time when writing was inconvenienced by a false inconvenience, I was flooded with thoughts and ideas for the perfect story or blog series. There were so many, I wanted to write them all down before I lost them or they got tangled within the highways of neccessary information and side roads of trivial facts all occupying my mind. Unfortunately, I am not as young as I once was, being able to hand write pages and pages  for hours with no wear. As it would be expected, the harder you work your hands over the years, the harder it is for their cooperation without their aches and complaining.

Now that I have temporarily put my false inconveniences to rest, finally purchased a laptop of sorts, found a blog platform that seems to be a good fit thus far, and am significantly less busy than usual thanks to the notorious Covid- but that is a story for another day. I find myself here today, writing again...

Or, staring at the screen with my fingers on the home keys trying to recall all of those fantastic and exciting topic ideas I had before I ran out of reasons not to write. go figure.

If you have made it this far without leaving the page out of sheer boredom or disappointment for the time it took to read this mini-intro, thank you. 

But I do want you to know that despite the lack of whatever you may be looking for at this moment, if you stick around a few posts, you will find a few things may happen;

1. You might actually learn something useful

2. You will discover the true meaning of the saying that "truth is stranger than fiction".

3. You will embark on an incredible journey of stories from  a life, describable by a "series of unfortunate events" and WTF moments.

4. You may end up with a greater appreciation and understanding of gratitude.

5. You may become and expert DIY'er and hyper-independent super-person capable of amazing feats!

6. Or you may just read something that hits home, from someone who shares many of the difficult moments and small rewards,  trying to maintain positivity, while struggling to hold it together

I don't intend to bore anyone with my stories, they are simply my stories. Not every post will be about my life or struggles or dreams, or recipes with unnecessarily  long back stories, when all you really want to know is how to make the dam.... 

anyways.  

I am a serial gets-bored-too-easy person with diverse and sometimes scattered knowledge. Because of this, I know a little bit of a lot of things and would eventually like to know how to do almost anything and everything. So, should you choose to come along for the ride, you will be exposed to a circus of experiences-without the clowns. But, you wont likely get bored. It won't be all fun and games either though- especially if you haven't caught on to my type of sense of humor. 

Although this first post may seem a bit short, they won't all be this way. I just have to take a moment to go through my thought catalog and try to figure out where all those amazing writing ideas are hiding.  Feel free to close whatever device you are using to read this, it could be a minute... or two. 

See you soon!

-and- thanks again for sticking around.
