The blog to begin all blogs...

There's is nothing like an international pandemic to make you reevaluate things. Coronavirus, it didnt seem so bad at first.  we'll take some time at home, organize the sock drawer, get caught up on life.  But weeks have turned into what seems like decades, and the pull to reorganize and get ahead has just floated away.  I had this bright idea.  hey...this is a historical event.  shouldn't i be recording this?  in the very least, it would be great if the kids could look back on this with a real life account that will directly correspond with their history books.  We should remember this as something more than just what we have to get through and survive.  This is happening for a reason.  And maybe knowing that something will be written down will motivate us all to stay the course.  Then the thought, didn't i have a blog at some point?

So here I sit, ready to start a blogging adventure and resurrect this humble blog I started years ago.  I have a love for writing.  I always have.  I've loved poetry and reading.  I have always journaled.  Maybe this blog is a new beginning of something great.  Or maybe it's just the beginning of a fancy new age type of journalling.  Regardless, I'm happy to have a direction and a way for generations to understand the life of this regular middle class suburban family in the midst of a national emergency.

So let's buckle up together.  I will commit now that my writing will be consistent, maybe not timely.
