It's like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Okay, not really- we won't actually be sharing magical clothing, or discovering the ins and outs of international postage rates. But some friends and I decided to start blogging, while we're all off at school, as a way to keep in touch, since we can't be together in person. I like the idea mostly because, A) I love my friends, and B) I have a lot of thoughts, and it is perhaps a good idea to have an outlet in which to channel them. Writing my thoughts down helps me to focus, and clear my head. Once they're on paper (or... computer screens?) I am no longer wrestling with them in my head. Usually. So this is a brilliant idea on multiple levels. This blog comes with a warning though: I have some pretty deep thoughts. And I can get downright poetic... so as long as you're prepared, then we're good.
I've been thinking a lot lately about goals. Setting them, achieving them... not achieving them. Dying trying to achieve them. I have a lot of goals. Problem is, I have a much easier time setting them than fulfilling them. My favorite writer, Thoreau, once said, "Thought is the sculptor who can create the person you want to be." I think he's pretty smart, so I'll take his word for it.
My goal for the year... is to fulfill my hopes & dreams.
Ready?
SET?
Go.
whoo! go beth!
