So, here I am fishing for the time of the Williamsburg Parade on the VA Gazette. Scroll down, nothing. Go across to the right hand nav and lo and behold, what do I see: The Viscosity of Me.
Huh? That sounds like my blog. THAT IS MY BLOG! Gulp. Hehehe, nervous laugh. I haven't written for quite some time. And turns out it has been posted as a link on the VA Gazette. Hehehe. Okay. Think. This is good. This is good because I really love writing. This is bad because I haven't written for some time. (Posts to follow about why I haven't written anything, and surely there are some doozies to come.) NOT that I haven't thought about it. In fact I think about it quite a bit.
I recently read this wonderful book, Better, A Surgeon's Notes on Performance by Atul Gawande. It is a truly insightful book about his experience thus far a surgeon, and his desire to examine his own preformance. I mention it for two reasons, one, I think you should read it, whoever you are, and two, in the summation he says "write something." I know he wasn't talking to me specifically, but he offers up writing as a way of problem solving, as well as a way of communicating. Surely this is a lousy way to sum up a great book, and it has a ton of other really compelling information, but that part hit me.
Why? It applies to everyone. Write something. Write about your life, your kids, your struggles, your faith, write about what moves you, or what breaks your heart or what really ticks you off.
Write something.
This is a blog about ME. It is going to be indulgent, frustrated, stressed, ranty, funny, honest and hopefully interesting to someone other than myself. It is a way to express my longing to be a better everything: mom, wife, person, designer, friend, etc. Read on.
