A little late to the dance

I've been watching friends and family enter the blogging world and have been more than happy to stay on the sidelines and watch them. I've enjoyed reading some really wonderful authors talk about the things I live daily and love about my life. I've even seen a few folks artfully deal with those issues I really dislike right along with them. I guess blogging or at least reading other blogs has become a way to quietly be a part of the bigger world's conversation. I'm also realizing this is a technology that will quickly leave me behind if I don't embrace it and jump in. A small part of me thinks that I can add something positive, if not thought provoking, to the world's conversation. Maybe I can change the world, or come to a clearer understanding of what my role in this world is. So here I am...a little slower than many of my friends but ready to dip my toes in the water.
