Blogging Newbie

I'm not sure how long I'll stick to this blogging thing, as I don't tend to stick to one thing or another for very long, but I think it could be good for me! I was just telling a friend that I wish I could write something profound. I have so many jumbled, mixed up thoughts that I wish I could eloquently get onto paper.

Well, I can't. I know I can't. I am by no means a writer, although I'd like to someday be. But I do believe that writing is good for people, whether it's as a kind of emotional therapy or simply to improve writing skills. And on top of that, I recently read a bit of Metro Mama's blog (I met her on my recent trip through Italy), and she inspired me. If only I could write about everyday life in a way that makes it hard to stop reading.

Right now I'm off to try to search for my niece's 18K gold crucifix from Italy. She lost it in a friend's yard yesterday and my sister cried for two hours. Hopefully I'll have good news when I return!
