First day of a blogger...

This is new to me... I've always wanted to be a "blogger", but haven't ever gotten around to it! I guess I didn't know if I'd have anything to say that anyone would want to read. But, I am going to try to get my fingers and mind into the creative writing mode once again, and thus I thought I'd start here.

I flew home yesterday from the most fabulous vacation. Well, it wasn't filled with gold medals, it wasn't tropical, and it wasn't with my family, so I suppose it could have been better. But it was great nonetheless, since it was a dream turned to reality for me. I competed in the US Masters Swimming National Championships in Federal Way, WA, and I didn't do half bad. Like I mentioned, I didn't bring home the gold, but I did swim my hardest, and competed with some of the fastest, best swimmers in the Nation! The level of competition was out of this world, and I can't wait to do it all over again next year!

For now, post-swim-season, I have some 5k races I plan to run in, and I want to also get back into writing my novel. So my days ahead will be filled with whatever I can find to keep busy, along with attending my kids' events (baseball, theater performances, etc) and also the addition we're putting on our home. Boredom is a scarecity in my life, but that's how I like it.

It's called "LIFE", so I say "LIVE IT"!
