My thesis statement
I don't know why my brain is hardwired to know the "main point" of something I'm being told or something I'm reading. But it's just the way I am. I HAVE to know... what is your main point?? What are you trying to say? You know how everyone talked about how pointless diagramming sentences was in grade school? Well, I loved it. Strange as it may seem, I love dissecting the different parts of speech and knowing exactly what the main thought of a topic is. That being said, I will attempt to put into words my objectives for starting this blog. First and foremost, I need an outlet. For those who know me well, I tend to stay quiet and bottle things up. I like the idea of an interesting way to release my unimportant, yet ever-busy, rambling thoughts. And if there is anyone out there that cares to listen, well, here you go. Second, I need a hobby. Plain and simple. Hobbies are therapeutic. Hobbies present ways to put yourself into something, give you something to look forward to, and even sometimes make a way for others to get to know you a little more and provide some common ground. So... a blog is created. There is now another tiny piece of another human being on the world wide web. I have no idea what I'm doing, lol. I'm in no way "good" at this. I may put my readers (if any) to sleep. But I will enjoy this newly found part of me and hope that maybe somehow, in some way, I can say something to brighten someone's day, share a smile or two, or inspire an idea. To have a positive effect on someone's life is one of the greatest achievements a person can strive for. Not only that, but I think as Christians it is part of our calling. If I can do anything at all, I want to be a help to someone else. It's who I am professionally as a nurse and it's who I want to be as a wife, mother, and friend. That all being said, I will now quote a member from Philips, Craig and Dean as I begin this new hobby... "Let her rip, tater chip!"

I looked up that very scripture (Acts 17:28) last night at church.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike. :) That verse has been on my mind for days now.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it with great anticipation!
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to reading your blogs Jenny! It's so very hard to get together and spend time so maybe I can keep up with you this way. There was a time in our lives that hardly 24 hours passed between seeing each other...I do miss those days. May I also take this opportunity to say how very blessed and honored I feel to have been a part of your life and to be blessed to watch your family grow in size and in beauty! I love you my Jenny!!!!
