first timer

i have never done this before; had a blog. to be honest, i have been known to be at least a little resistant to technology. i wouldn't go so far as to say i'm afraid of it...just hesitant. i have kept written journals in the past, but i now see the blog as a modern-day diary. it can be as arbitrary or as personal as i want. so this is me: arbitrary and personal. i usually have a lot of thoughts swimming around in my head and i'm hoping this format will allow some of these thoughts to slow down and come out of the water. i called this blog hold very still for a reason. i've watched our culture pick up speed. we move so quickly. we miss so much. we are all too busy looking ahead that we forget to notice what is surrounding us.
so, i'll use this blog to talk about whatever is going on in my life and in my head. who knows if it will ever be read and frankly i don't care one way or the other. i am going to continue to write and maybe someday i'll find my stride.
