Some days we just need to be...

Do you ever have those days when, you know you have a long to do list, yet you just feel like being in your mind, in your head, alone, no distractions?  Today was one of those days for me.  While I had intentions of being productive, I just could not gather the energy or desire to actually follow through with those intentions.  A lot of time was spent wandering from room to room.  I'd get up, walk into the kitchen.  Make myself something to eat.  Get up, wander into the office.  Check my facebook page.  Get up, wander onto the deck.  Soak up the sun's warmth for a few minutes  What I did not spend time doing was cleaning my house in preparation for our friend's visit (thankfully, they're not staying with us, or I would have had no choice!), or preparing for a new and quickly approaching new school year (I'll put it off another week).  While these things rank high in the list of importance, I wasn't ready to wrap my head around them quite yet.  Maybe tomorrow...

It may take a while for this blog to determine it's own course...I figure that eventually, I'll find a common thread that shows up frequently.  Until then, I'm just going to explore, move from room to room and see where it takes me.  I hope you'll take the journey with me.  And please, sign up to follow me.  The more the merrier :)

This is who I share my life with...

Let's see how this blog thing works out...

Over the last year or so, I have started reading a handful of home improvement and mommy blogs.  I am interested in both of these things, and Nate and I are making plans to expand upon our little family of two, so I thought, what better time than to try this blog thing out.  I love to write, but don't put it to good use often enough for personal growth.  I find myself doing lots of writing for professional growth, which absolutely has its place in the ranks of importance, but I need to do some writing for me. 

I'm not sure exactly how this blog will grow, but as the title I have chosen suggests, I will be learning along the way.  I am currently learning many new things and growing as a result.  Hopefully, I can share some of these insights and learn from all of you as well.

Here's to new experiences.  "I am always learning."
