A New Chapter

I have a blog mostly dedicated to pictures of our family, along with some comments about the events in our lives. That is more an account or a calendar of what is going on in our lives, but more profitable than recording in a journal since each of the pictures tell a thousand words which sure saves me a lot of time.
I think this is more for my writing need. Much like my reading need, there just isn't time for it. I like to share thoughts (just ask my husband who is often the only other adult I interact with in a day) so I figured, why not write them here. I am a minimalist- I might as well archive to a computer rather than to a journal so I don't have to tote the journal around with me. I do like a good journal (one that stays open on it's own) when traveling somewhere thoughtful. Being able to whip out my laptop in the middle of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome isn't very easy...
I like to organize thoughts as well as things around me, so I am excited for this. If no one reads, that's fine- this is for me.
