Inaugural post!

Yup. I caved. I am a "blogger" now. Why you ask?? Well, several reasons. One, I am the only one of my sisters who does not have a blog. Time to get on board! Two, because recently I have been realizing more and more how much I have LOVED "meeting" bloggers. I love reading their blogs. They have made me laugh, made me cry, kept me from being bored, and most importantly, often they have put words to feelings in a way I could never articulate properly before reading their posts. Reading people's stories have felt like therapy to me!!! And I have a feeling blogging myself will only add to the therapy. =-). And hey, isn't the Internet much cheaper than an actual therapist?!?
As for the title...the real credit goes to Steven Curtis Chapman, who has a song by that title. But why I chose it is because more and more I feel like God is trying to show me to slow down and appreciate the moment. The here and now. I have a serious tendency to ignore the present and worry about the future. OR even look forward to the future too much and neglect the things going on in my life right now. God wants to show me sooo much today. And I am trying to be better about letting Him.
SO....welcome to my blog. Don't expect too much. My parents used to say when I was awake my mouth was moving, and that could very well transfer over to blogging wayyyy to much with nothing really to say. Also, my husband has the English degree, not me. So be prepared for run on sentences and poor punctuation. Oh, and I like to start sentences with "And".
And that'll be all for tonight!!!!

Oops -one more thing. If I listed you on my blogroll and you didn't know I read your blog until you saw it there...sorry. I do not know blog etiquette, so if this was wrong, I'm sorry!! Some of you I have chatted with via email, but a few I haven't. So, again, please forgive the newbie if this was wrong!
