I guess I'm a blogger now!

Well, here it is.  My first blog post EVER!  I never thought I would do this.  In fact, just the idea of blogging used to make me tired.  I think that is because of the type of person I am.  I don't want to sound dumb or boring (hello!  I'm an accountant!) and creativity has always seemed to be out of my reach a bit.  I like things to be stable and the same, generally speaking, aaaaand I have a lazy streak.  Why think when you can veg?  Okay.  So why am I blogging?  I've found that I love reading other people's blogs.  Not random blogs of people I don't know, because honestly that seems like a waste of my time...sorry to those of you who do that.  :)  I read the blogs of all my close friends & family who have them.  I have customized my Google page (iGoogle) to show all the blogs I follow, plus news, etc and reading the blogs is the first thing I want to do when I sit down at my Google home page!  The more I read them, the less dauting the task seems to feel.  Additionally, I have found that one of the things I love to do most is observe & analyze.  Not just boring stuff like numbers (boring to others, interesting to me!), but relationships, circumstances, conversations, Scripture, my children, others' perspectives, etc.  Now, it has gotten me into trouble before...more on that in some later post...I but I feel like I have learned so many things in my adult years.  Some big, but most are little but valuable.  When I start to draw conclusions about something or I see things in a new way, I can't wait to "reveal" it to David.  What I've learned.  What I feel God has shown me about something.  Anyway, I recently have been drawn to writing it down.  Not because I feel like I've mastered anything...but in reading other blogs I've realized how much it blesses me and helps me relate to someone I may not see very often.  I like to relate to people on a DEEP level.  Hence the title of my blog...with a bit of SNL reference!  But really, how much time can you really invest in people at that level.  So, for the trickle of friends/family who may stumble upon this blog, this is my one-way endeavor to show you a fuller Me.  Not just the Me that you see at Church, or in a class, or even at a family gathering...the Deeper Me.
