Where to begin...

Well, I think for a long time I've needed a way to get things out. I am, for the most part, an observer. I take time to really see things, or try to anyway. Sometimes I can pick up on things that others don't or can't. I don't know what that means but that's just how I see myself. And while I am an "observer", I am, unfortunately, not much of a "sharer". Now, what does that mean? I will share my food, my time...anything I have...with the exception of me (for lack of a better word). As a person I tend to be rather closed off. This recently has made me feel like I'm disconnected with the surrounding world. I know that I am. So now I've decided to be more open and talk about things that are swimming around in my head. Through "sharing" more I hope to accomplish...life. I guess I don't know how best to describe this. But then again, that's kinda the point of all this, eh? I hope others will want to take the time to get to know me as I do them. I just want to make this journey called life interesting.

However, I have a feeling that this blog will mostly be about music. Music plays such an major role in my life. I have many memories, people, and feelings associated with music. A song can play on the radio that can make me think of someone I hadn't thought about in years or recall a long forgotten memory or even just evoke a certain emotion.

And also, I love food. I did, at one time, study to become a chef. I, once upon a time, was the most passionate about creating something that could nourish others. I took pride in creating something that others could enjoy. It is my belief that a sense of satisfaction should come from the flavor and quality of the food, not just how much of it you can shovel down your throat. Every bite should be savored and last even if you only have two forkfuls. A full belly should come from a full heart.
But maybe that is the point of it all...savoring everything you bring into your life. And if, in any way, it does not bring happiness or enjoyment then it shouldn't be there.

love music and food too....
sometimes you just gotta jump in the car, turn up the radio, stop at a quick drive thru for some junk along the way, roll the windows down and just DRIIIIVE.... =)

i can relate to that.

i can relate to the loss of a friend too....
very much so.
my very best friend (for a long while) is no longer my very best friend....

though losses hurt, i PROMISE you, time will heal the pain. doesn't take it away, doesn't make you forget, but it definitely helps....
and time gives you a chance to meet other people....
find the things you love to enjoy (although it seems you already have) stay true to YOU, and you'll pick up a lovely character (or friend) along the way. =)

i started a journey and met my husband.... when i SWORE i'd never get married....

there are many surprises out there, just waiting to be revealed....
STAY
TRUE
TO
YOU....

don't overextend yourself for anyone or anything (but you, of course.)

=)
