The first of many posts to come.

My first blog post.  How bout that?  I have been told for years that I needed to find a creative outlet for my thoughts, ideas, writings, and the like.  My wife, of course, has told me that I'm a very good writer and I really should be doing something with it.  She has been writing a blog for a little while now and seems to really enjoy it.  This blog is the result of much contemplation and the need to break the tiresome routine I seem to be stuck in.  I am getting tired of the daily garbage on facebook.  I went there to meet up with friends and to keep in touch.  Sadly, it has become a haven for trash talk, foul language, and immaturity.  I must say that I will gladly leave it if this becomes a truly inspiring and productive outlet for my energy.

I have no misconceptions about legions of followers and publishers banging down my door for a book deal.  I do have the belief that I will get more out of this than most reading it.  I suppose this may just turn out to be an experiment in journaling.  Which happens to be something else I was always told to try and never did.

Through this outlet I fully expect to discover many things about myself.  I hope to inspire others to delve deeper into the regions of their mind.  I suppose some of my banter and ramblings may stir emotions and elicit quality comments that will further help us to see the way I see it and how it is....
