As Maria von Trapp once said, let’s start at the very beginning…
This is not my first blog (or attempt at one) and probably won’t be my last. It is simply the latest in a long line of attempts at writing it all down so to speak. When I was younger, it seemed I could write something new every day, a journal entry, a short story, a chapter in a never-ending novel I would never finish. These days, it feels like all I write anymore are work emails, and homework assignments and multiple page papers in APA format. This year, 2018, I intend to be more present, and introspective. The biggest goal I have for this year is to finish up my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work. It has been a long time coming, and all of the stopping and starting, and struggling is about to come to an end. I am thrilled, but I also want to make time for myself during the next few semesters. Time to reflect, and to document even when it isn’t particularly exciting.
Carving out time to write every day will be a challenge, but I believe it will ultimately be a fulfilling one, and one worth working at. So, here goes nothing!
