Taking the Plunge!

October 22, 2016
Just begin.
That's where I am at.
I have stared at this newly created blog for weeks.
Multiple times, I have started to write a post, only to let it sit as a draft untouched, unpublished.  Why is it so hard to just start??? I kept a blog for 7 years and published quite regularly. It was a fabulous way for me to keep family, who lived hundreds of miles away, on top of what was going on with our lives. But it was also a way for me to express myself through words and pictures.  To capture moments, express feelings (good and bad), preserve memories, document favorite recipes, and really, to pause and reflect on life each day. When I viewed life as a blogger, even the simplest moments were seen with awe and wonder. It helped me to really savor the beauty that is life. 

So, as awkward and unrefined as this First Post is, I will begin now with this adorable picture of my babies, who are not really babies anymore.  Because sometimes it is best to just jump in, head first.

Love,
Rachel
