beginning

My friend Jill has such an elegantly written blog that I was inspired to try my hand. I have never thought much about blogging before; I am curious to see what happens next. Perhaps I will find myself unable to stop typing. Perhaps not. Tightly crafted paragraphs about incidental life moments are appealing; in writing them, Jill has offered me a vision with which to work. Thank you, Jill.

I was walking back from the mechanic this morning at 7:45, watching the sun rise and thinking, "what a beautiful morning." My cheeks were numb from the cold, but my ears were warm. Layers are key. They really are.
