I've resisted the blogging thing for a very long time. I can see how a blog would have been a fun thing when I lived overseas for 7 years, it's a great way to keep in touch. So, in a world of facebook and instant everything....why blog?

I'm not sure I know the answer to that question. If I figure it out, I'll let you know. As a bit of water passes under the bridge of my life I've learned one thing...I have a lot to learn! So, with a bit of food, family, philosophy, photography and travel and sport thrown in, maybe something will be interesting along the way. If there's one thing I'm passionate about.....it's life! The joy of each day comes from one place and one place alone......me! Not in a "the world revolves around me kind of way", it's just that the true source of joy in our lives comes from within, not without. The name of my blog..... well that's a long story, but ties into the whole "joy" thing and hopefully one that will make sense, someday!

See...I learned something new just yesterday. That little button at the bottom of the blog screen that says..."SAVE NOW", it means it. You never know when your first blog might be erased completely by a passing thunder storm and a power surge. I was asking myself, after the screen went black, "Why am I blogging?". As I said, if I figure it out, I'll let you know.
