I am not a tech person and am the last to embrace technology. I don't have a facebook account - well, technically I do, but it was just to participate in a sample sale; I don't use it - I just got into texting; I don't have a wii or playstation. And there are just a few blogs that I follow. But often, when I've had a random thought, I've thought...."hmmmmm, that would totally be something that would be funny on a blog." But alas, I have had no blog..... until now.
So what do I want to do with this blog? My life is really not that interesting. I don't have a farm or some sort of craft like photography or art. I don't even know how to upload photos. Nothing interesting. But most of those youtube videos that go viral really are not that interesting..... So, I thought I would at least start an account and see where it goes. After all, it's free!
I am horribly uncreative and had a hard time thinking of a name. The name came from a quote from one of the regular blogs that I follow: "The cure for anything is saltwater.... sweat, tears, or the sea." -Isak Dinesen (check out http://aglowingember.blogspot.com ) I added the "or just laugh" part myself. Because seriously??? Laughter really is the best medicine at times. And the ability to laugh at oneself is one of the more important survival skills for this life. I'm going through quite a struggle lately and it seems that I am doing a lot of laughing or crying. I'd like to do more sweating through good exercise and I would definitely like to spend more time by the sea.....
So, I may post; I may not. We'll see where it goes. If I think of something I think is clever or profound, I'll share.

Hey, I just popped by to see if you'd started a blog yet and here you are! Imagine my surprise to see mention of my blog, too. *smile*
I think we all start blogging thinking that we have nothing interesting to share, yet I think you'll find that, over time, your blog will help you to tap into parts of yourself you might not otherwise have taken the time to notice. We all have a voice - you, just as much as anyone. I'm looking forward to visiting from time to time.
Blessings,

What an absolutely beautiful beginning!
And despite you listing all the reasons why this shouldn't work, I found myself thinking throughout: Yes! This will work!
Trust in yourself, Jane - you have a lot to say...and I know there are those of us out there (me and Carolynn...to name a few), who are anxious to read what you have to say.
Thank you for (finally) sending me your link. ♥ ♥ ♥
