Hello Everyone

Hiya! So I've been thinking about writing a blog for quite some time now... a new blog, a blog about random thoughts, pets, people, wine, humor, psychology, and heart-warming experiences among other things. But I am a bit of a perfectionist I guess... I will write something and then I am not sure if it's how I want it to be exactly or if I want to share it with everyone, or anyone who might stumble upon it. Then I wonder, is this just another venue that I need to limit my activity on? I feel I should ensure I am overly politically correct, after-all I am all too well aware of how asynchronous online communication is and how easily words on the web can be ambiguous, misinterpreted, and misconstrued... and then I think, maybe I should just delete it all... or maybe I should stop using dotdotdot.

It's funny. I live in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. We have free speech and yet I am at many times afraid to exercise that, or I feel that I shouldn't because I might, in this case, write something that could come back to bite me, or someone might be offended by somehow.

So, here it is, my first post in a new blog. Hello out there! Thanks for stopping by.

To me, the internet is amazing. It can connect anyone willing to log in or link up, anywhere, anytime, yet it continues to exist when people log off and shutdown. It links us to strangers who can become friends or loves or bullies to us. It can help us find anything we could ever want or need. The internet has helped me find my job, my education, my pets, and even my husband.
