Back to Writing Again

"Sometimes the way forward is returning to something that helped you long ago." 

              That is why I am back to writing in my blog again. I have missed it all of these years and it is crazy that I didn't make time to write things down since I have been married. Things have been crazy this year and I need to find a way to release things and this is one of those ways that I hope to bring back. 

              I have rediscovered this hobby because of a friend of mine. That friend came back into my life and then went away again but what can you expect, right? Anyways, that friend made me look back at a very important time in my life that I wrote down in here and I learned something very important from that. That lesson is: it is a good thing to write down your life or at least what is happening in your life so you can look back at it and see what you can learn from it later on in life.

            Like I did for this new adventure in my life of becoming an author. I wrote a book that was never planned, even though, I wrote things down I was just getting things out on computer or paper. I never thought I would be an author but now the thought is pretty sweet. 

            Now that I wrote one book, I have all of these ideas either coming to me now or coming back to me from the past. I don't know what I will learn from this exact entry but I have had some other thoughts, experiences, and poems that I have wanted to write and that is what brought me back to my blog. 

            Although, I should have been writing all along with this job because I have had some good stories throughout the years but I don't know why I didn't. Now I am going to write what I learn and just some of the good times that I am having at this job. Maybe that will help me with what I need help with this year.  Writing is something that I apparently love to do. It is a way I can get my feelings out and my ideas out. Instead of also assuming that people should know that I have 20 years of experience with kids, they can read all about my different experiences at different times in my life. I never really thought about it that way but now I can and maybe make something of it.

            Not only am I writing books and poems, I am also thinking about creating some lessons that other teachers can use and put it on a website where teacher can get it. I think, for now, instead of my crafting side showing, I should get back to my writing side for a bit or maybe I can do both. I would just have to make sure to set time aside for both.
