What a Day!

Wouldn't you know it?  I finally start a blog to keep a record of something, and today was just terrible.  It was cold and windy.  I was running late and didn't pray, and couldn't finish my workout.  I had a student who was mean and surly - giving me attitude all day - sucking up my time and energy.  And now I have a lesson plan to write for my principal, and papers to correct, and we're out of milk.  It's just not a good way to start journaling.  I was hoping for something more inspirational, educational, philosophical, or humorous.  At the very least, I'd like it to start on a positive note.

It's About Time

I've been thinking of doing this for about three years now.  Maybe I'll journal.  Maybe I'll just write stuff.  Maybe I'll keep track of books I read.  It might be for recipes.  Or quotes.  Or just something I know or wonder about.

Why did I finally start?  Yesterday I watched David McCullough as he spoke to the National Geological Society Conference, and today I watched Henry B. Eyring's talk at the same event.  The two of them convinced me that I should blog, and what I blog I should print each year, because it's important.  I know that's true.  We'll see how I do. (And we'll see what I do.)
