Just starting out

My mom taught me that just because everyone is doing it, doesn't mean I have to. Hmm, I guess once again I am ignoring her advice because I have started this blog, jumping on the social networking bandwagon.

I wanted to start blogging because I am a thinker. I think too much for my own good. And while I like to journal, blogging seems like a more disciplined approach to documenting what's going on in my active mind.

I'd like to use this forum to express my gratitudes, talk about spirituality and ruminate about life in this ever evolving and changing world. I am not an overtly social person so perhaps this blog will help me reach out to others, learning, sharing and expressing.

Let me know what you think, what you are grateful for and how you are dealing with life -- both spiritually and in "reality."
