Overdue Cred

This particular post contains no family drama-related story; it contains an explanation of why this blog even exists.

I want to take a minute out of my busy blogging schedule to give overdue (though not long, since I've really only just begun) thanks and credit to the person who helped me get this thing started. Of course, one could say I really didn't need any help; after all, blogging is pretty easy. But the truth is 1) without her, I would have remained unaware of how perfect the blog format is for what I wanted to accomplish, 2) she wrote down the website to use, thus reducing my excuses to zero, and 3) she opened my eyes to the possibility that writing all this down might be more than entertaining; it just might be therapeutic (it is!). Plus, we all know that sometimes you just need a little extra encouragement to stop dragging your feet (or sitting on your ass) in order to finally begin to pursue a long-talked about goal or dream.

So, for all that and more, my dear Mariposa, I thank you.
