The begining!

How can we start at the very begining , which , to quote Julie Andrews, is a very good place to start, when you are retired, not young, children raised, which is a relative term as you also raise corn, and grandchildren growing taller than you are.

This begining is of a different nature. A new career , hobby, vocation, call it what you want. I am starting another adventure in life and it is exciting. I have written a children's book and it is being published. It is called "THE FLY AWAY BALLOON". Publishing a book, now there is an experience everyone should go thru. It is a learning curve, frustration, educational and mind boggling. It is so much fun. It keeps your mind active, learning so many things you did not even understand before. To put it in a nutshell, I am having a wonderful time. I believe writing the book was the easy part, and the "publishing" experience is the hard part. I will talk about that as we move on.

Part of this publishing experience calls for blogging, with the thought that many will see this, wonder about your book, and when it finally hits the printed page, others can hear about it, buy it , and everyone will be enriched by the experience. But, I believe this can go even farther than just that experience. It will be another way for you to put your thoughts out there. Sometimes short, sometimes about writing, sometimes about frustrations, always with my faith. So, this, being my first blog, is the new begining. I hope you enjoy my ramblings, and respond and share back.
