Here's what I'm telling myself. Step One was creating the blog and eventually the words will come. It just goes back to the if-you-build-it-they-will-come theory, right? Right!
For now, I'll simply say that here I sit at a small square table in a sweet little room looking out the window at the very top of Pikes Peak. Wow oh wow oh wow...who would have ever thought I would actually be here? Although I never dreamed about Pikes Peak per se, this is part of the journey I've dreamed about for more that half my life.
At the base of the hill outside my window is a field of daisies and for those of you who know how much I love daisies, you can understand how very right this place seems to me. At any minute I fully expect to see Maria running across the top of the hills singing "The Sound of Music." I'm not even sure I'd be surprised if it would happen...I'd just think...of course Maria is here....where else would she be?
I'm thoroughly enjoying some "alone" time and the absolute quietness of my gloriously beautiful surroundings...the only sounds are my fingers tapping the keyboard and the occasional bird flying by to say hello.
How grateful I am for this trip..for this experience...and for life. And, I'm pretty dang proud that I finally found the courage to create a blog!
