Ready to Blog, Finally!

I like this quote.



So, I’m ready to begin my blogging journey.  Part of me has always wanted to be a writer, and this gives me a wonderful opportunity to do so.  Maybe not professionally, but that's okay, as I don’t want to be a pro.  I just want to write and share my feelings sometimes.

With that in mind, I honestly don’t know how much I am willing to share at this point, or if I can even handle the limits I’m stuck with regarding the sharing of my thoughts.  I’m in the Air Force Reserves…so being in the military there’s certain things you just do not talk about…based on rules/guidance, or just protocol.
One example is politics.  I have to be careful about speaking my mind about that, especially involving the POTUS.  FYI, this doesn't mean I like or dislike our POTUS.  So I’ll probably just throw a general comment here and there, but nothing that would get me into trouble.  There are also other things I need to keep in mind, such as talking about work.  I can talk about general things, but being in the operations world, I can’t talk too much.  *By the way, I may throw in acronyms or abbreviations in future blogs.  My military comrades should get them, but I'll try to spell out uncommon ones for all.  If you don't know, feel free to ask, and don't be ashamed! :)

Then there are other things that I won’t talk about because it’s very personal.  I feel I’ve gone through a lot of things in life, but I don’t want to back track too much to talk about that…just starting fresh today.  I’ll refer to things in my past life now and then, but not so much.  It’s about the here and now.  I kind of wish I started earlier, so I can share some of the life lessons I learned “real time”, but I didn’t.  Also, even though I’m opening this up to my friends, some of you are close to me, and some not so close…so how much I write in the open will depend on how close I am to the “least close” reader/subscriber.  I hope you get what I’m saying.

Anyway, starting tomorrow or later this week I’ll jump into my thoughts for the day (or time being).  Not sure how often I will blog, as I’m very busy, but I plan on once or twice a week.   Some days may be serious, and some days not.  Most of the time will probably be in between.  I don’t really care too much about what people may think about my blogs, but I don’t want to offend anyone either.  Please let me know if there’s something that offends you…it may be just a misunderstanding/misperception of what I wrote.  Also, my grammar may not be the best…feel free to point out spelling/grammar mistakes, as I may not have time to proof as good as I want to.  I hope you enjoy what you read…please feel free to provide feedback any time. 

Cheers!
