......helps the medicine go down!  As I type this, I can see Mary Poppins in all her glory -  white dress with the red lace and crinolines, singing happily - or memories of my mother saying this as she encouraged me to look on the bright side of some task that I found mundane.  So, in my effort to approach this new decade with a more positive, carefree attitude, I have decided to create this blog......a place, where in my own way, I can write about, and focus on the things in my life that help me deal with the mundane.  Hence, my bowl of sugar!!
I have never been one to "put myself out there" - believe it or not!  I'm a talker.  There's no doubt about that, but I cringe whenever I'm put in the position where big groups of people can judge what I say or what I do.  I'm hoping this blog will also help me overcome this fear and my need for outside approval.  So here I go......I will be vulnerable.  I will try to not worry about criticisms of what or how I write.  I will let go of what others think and do this for my own benefit in hopes that a creative outlet will encourage the discovery of ME!  Someone that is easily lost between the bajillion loads of laundry and the endless chasing of children.  I know I am in there somewhere and with a very supportive husband and kids - I will find me!!  Wish me luck!
