Can you teach an old sheep new tricks?

Well here I am, starting on a new adventure which is becoming a new motto in my life.  I always was  a more hesitant person, apprehensive at trying out new things and I'm sure when I honestly think  about it, it was for fear of failure.  I'm getting older now and, I suppose, a bit wiser from plain old observation,  the sweet/sour experiences sent my way and the gift of common sense to try and make some sense of it all.  Being the older "sheep" that I am, this blog, for me, is a "new trick" of sorts.  I am largely a technological oaf so this endeavor, or adventure as I actually prefer to call it, makes me a bit nervous given my general personal makeup.  However, as I have stated earlier, I am trying be wise and apply many of the lessons I've learned in my life and now on my bleating blog.  Hopefully I can inspire someone out there in blog-land to learn, laugh and loll  along with me! 

Why should I follow your blog? you may ask.  Good question!  I am hoping that my blog will become a sort of oasis in this hectic world we live in.  I have felt so bombarded with negativity, whether it be in the news, online (Facebook can be soooo negative at times!), or in my own dealings with people, that I felt compelled to offer a positive choice to those of you that my feel the same.  My Grandma was always looking for an excuse to have a party and spread some "old fashioned" fun and love and I have picked up on that vibe.  Consider my blog your mini-party for the day.  I think that's a pretty cool reason to follow!

As this blog-thing is new to me, I hope you will be patient with me as I learn the process of creating a  neato-keen place for you to visit and hopefully bring a giggle and grin, a smirk and smile and possibly a corny but welcome heartwarming...ah, just like hug from a warm chocolate chip cookie, potentially messy but oh, so good.

I enjoy writing and also photography so I'm planning on incorporating those interests into my blog so check back often on my progress with that!  I'm curious myself to see how that will turn out.  I have some grand visions in my head and I'll try my best to brighten your day with some light in this sometimes dark world.  So this old sheep will toddle along a new path and hopefully you will tag along...I believe we're both in for some adventuring.  Baa baa!

He's not s sheep, but you can't get much more heartwarming than a Chowbador with a Chocolate Chip Cookie on his head.
