I've been thinking about this for a long time

I've been thinking about blogging for a long time, only I didn't realize that's what I wanted to do. I have just felt like I had a lot to say and I didn't know who to say it to, so this might be a good way to get it out.

I read a bio of an author in the back of her book that said she liked to talk a lot so she found writing to be a good way for her thoughts. When I read that, it really spoke to me. I have been told more than once that I talk a lot. I suppose it's the people who don't like to talk very much who feel compelled to tell me that. Quite honestly, it hurts my feelings. It's kind of like pointing out a birth mark on some one's face - I'm fully aware of it, thank you very much, and your saying something is only a painful reminder. I will continue to edit my spoken words but I may write some of my unspoken thoughts here!
