We are following each other...

My family often tells of how as a child I would stroll along the beach or anywhere else, and collect friends.  They say I would have a line of followers playing whatever game I had created.  It seems I was not the bossy leader, but just looking for people to have fun with, and to make some friends along the way.  Some of these friends lasted only the day and some are people who still brighten my days.

This blogging thing isn't so far from the beach of my childhood.  I am bouncing along looking for some people to share a story with, make some friends, and I am looking for them to "follow" me along this journey.  Some of these blogging "friends" are ones I have know for so long, and some...well ok.  At this point, I know you all pretty well.  In weeks to come I hope to bring in some new friends to our beach party. Though I don't so much want to be followed as to walk beside and talk to some great people who know just what it feels like to have to brush the sand off of yourself after taking a digger.  So thank you for "following" and hey invite anyone you want to join us!
