My First Blog

This is my first attempt at something new like blogging. For most, blogging is probably second nature, but not for me. I am using this as a catalyst to express my views on life, friends, and the activities that I like to pursue. One blog that I recently read, was a man's expression of gratitude for the common place things in his life. Many times we are going through the motions of life with out ever taking the time to reflect on the blessings that have been given to us. Even when life is difficult there is always something to be grateful for. With this in mind, I want to express my gratitude for my children and family. They have been a source of great joy and strength in my life.
