Getting Started

I must confess I am new to the world of blogging and I don't know a lot about social networking on the internet, but I became intrigued when I heard someone talking about his blog and how easy it was to set up and get started. I didn't even know if I would like sitting down and writing about "things" - I mean who would really care? - but nonetheless, I was still intrigued. You see, all my life I have always considered myself more of a good listener and not so much of a talker. Now that's not to say that I don't talk or have something to say because obviously that is not true. I guess my comfort zone has always been relatively small and in one-on-one conversations and small group conversations with my family and close friends I respond differently than when I am with a larger group of people. In this forum, I have an opportunity to spread my wings a lot, get comfortable in sharing my thoughts and focus on what gives me joy in my life. I like taking the high road. I hope this will be fun. Now if I can master the technical aspect of this blog and learn to do some cool things with it, then I will be a happy camper. Baby steps, one step at a time...
