There Is A First Everything

I recently reconnected with a childhood friend of mine while visiting an adulthood friend. After spending some time together and catching up we both realized our love for food. She started telling me about all these wonderful food experiences she was having at all these great restaurants and felt that she could not remember everything so she decided to journal about them. The best way for her to journal about it was to start a blog. I could not believe it, so funny but I guess such a great thing to do. She can keep track of all her experiences and adventures as well as serve others with great recommendations. She is a terrific writer and I love going to her blog to see what kinds of fun experiences she had the night before, plus she always has a recommendation because she is the woman who has the "perfect" restaurant for everything. So she recommended I give blogging a try.
I have always liked to write, at one point I wanted to be a journalist, even toyed with the idea of writing a book. My problem is that I can't keep my mind focused on one particular thing long enough to write a chapter about it. This was the perfect opportunity for her to plug blogging again. It is a great way to write about whatever you want and for you it would be great, you can have short entries for those days where you mind feels all over the place. The thought of writing was great, I love to write, I journal a lot, but writing for other people? Hmmm this is going to be a challenge.
It got me to thinking about our firsts. Our first day of school, meeting our first friend, meeting our first "best" friend, our first sports event, our first crush, our first kiss, our first boyfriend/girlfriend, our first dance, the first break-up, our first fight with our first best friend and so many other firsts that I quickly started to realize "There is a First Everything."
So here I am starting my first blog, writing for no particular crowd but having a very exciting, liberating experience. I am excited to share things with whomever is interested and I hope people will share back. I feel as though everyday whether we think of it or not we have a first everything. Whether it is trying a new flavor ice-cream, coming out of our box and saying hello to a total stranger on the street, or just realizing a passion for a new found hobby. I feel alive and very passionate at the moment, I think this is going to be fun for me and I hope you out there will get a good laugh here and there.
Cheers to something new, coming out of the comfort zone of just writing for myself and throwing it all out there. But hey, please be patient while I navigate my way through posting things. The page may start out a little barren but I promise with help and time it will grow like a flower. Oh and on a final note, I have another first...Deleting my entire first blog :-). Yup, this is the second one. Ha ha, at least I can laugh about it though I am not in love with this entry the way I was in love with my first one.

Happy Friday!
