Hi, gather round, pull up a seat, how are you doing?
Hope you don't mind my getting carried away and inviting you to my blog before I had anything to say. Got a wee bit excited!
Well it's nice you are here, and before I begin, I want to thank you for being part of my life, past, present or future. I am who I am partly because of you. Yup, every single one of you. Without you, I mean nothing, am nobody. You've all helped shape me in some way. There's a fantastic quote I came across recently which reminded me of this fact:
"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born" ~ Anais Nin.
I guess this swings in both directions, huh?
Each of you will know me in different ways. I embrace the different threads of the tapestry of my life and the many incarnations I have lived through. They make me who I am today. I have been through dark times. I have experienced absolute, pure unadulterated joy. Been mad, bad and dangerous to know. Been a low down scumbag and a born again christian. A petty thief. Generous benefactor. Lover. Carer. Seeker of truth. Mother. Wife. Funker. Wiper of poo. Hopeless. Shame-faced. Ecstatic. Ridiculous. Healer. Writer. Stony broke. Flush. Mover. Shaker. Screaming bore. A Joker, a smoker and midnight toker. Soother. Inspirer. Raver. True friend. Crap friend. Rock. Whinger. Sufferer. Teacher. Pupil. Bum!
I guess I share a lot of these things with you all, being, well, human.
But by far the greatest incantation of my life is the one I am living through right now. What could be more exciting? Here and now. Feeling pretty happy about the here and now I can tell you. I have my husband and children mostly to thank for that. Without them, well I really am nothing.
We've come a long, long way together. So here we go! Stay tuned for some more musings. No more boring you all going on about me, me, me. Just thought I should start out by showing you the real deal. I'll try not to stray into weaving a fantasy of my life, nor bore y'all to death with the banalities.
Take care and see you all soon. Bye-bye now.
hello you shameless self promoter :P
ReplyDeleteFantastic to see you blogging. Hurrah! Looking forward to reading more.
ReplyDeletebest wishes, Julie.
Thank you, yes brazen self-promoter, that's me! A brazen blog hussy! And 'incarnation' was actually the word I meant to use. D'uh. Forgive my excited fingers on the keyboard.....
ReplyDeleteHooray, you got a blog! About bleedin time. V x
ReplyDeleteHurray! Ditto Viv!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blog world. Pretty soon you'll be laying awake at two in the morning composing posts in your head.
ReplyDeleteI love your exhaustive list of adjectives. We are all many-fold, but you sound extra wrinkled velvet.
Might I suggest an about page? When I find a new blog, I always want to get to know the author. You might think that list o' adjectives was long, but I actually want more!
Thank you, thank you dear commenters, viewers, followers, friends. Yes I am one excited lady. I can see how the stats/page view watching thing could get addictive though! I'm sure the novelty of that one will soon wear off...
ReplyDeletePlease do send folks my way if you fancy ;-)
Hey CJ , just for you I will oblige and bore you with me,me,me in time. Watch this space.
Hello again. ;)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading more. I seem to have no time for my blog at the moment but one day it will be properly resurrected. :)
Hi Laura, Russ, Phoebe and Ezra. Funny you should mention resurrection as this is the theme for my new post! Glad to have you here in my little patch of cyberspace.
