Starting a blog: where to begin…?

OK. So now that I have written my dutiful post on ‘facebook,’ I am free to write about whatever I want… this is where it gets difficult, especially considering I kinda sorta made the promise to keep these posts ‘short.’ There is always so much more to cover, so much more depth to EVERY one of these topics… (How do preachers do it?)

I have wanted to start a blog for many months, and, once I decided to quit facebook for a little while, I thought it the best time to start taking notes for blog topics. **I have to confess…I didn’t really quit facebook. I still check it regularly, I just do not post, like or comment. This keeps me ‘in the know’ without receiving constant updates to my phone. However, I feel a tad guilty. The same sort of guilty I feel when I don’t leave my change in the tip jar at the coffee shop. A feeling that would be very easily overcome if I contributed my extra .25 or my random thought. Why put myself through all of this suffering, when I, and the barista and my faceook friends, would be better off if I just gave a little? Yes, as mentioned in my last blog post, I will be posting on facebook again once my two weeks are up. In all honesty, I might not even make it those two weeks. We shall see…

Now, as I was saying, I am really not sure where to begin. I have been jotting down notes on topics for about a week now. None of which really resemble my facebook status updates…surprisingly enough. The topics I decided to write down were much more personal than my typical updates. They were topics that I think about. Topics that I rarely talk about.

I guess what I’m saying is…welcome to my mind…uncut…

***and I’m still left wondering where to start…I think I’m going to go with something light…I’m not quite ready to get the comment “you need a therapist”….
