Emancipation From Procrastination

Hello world,
I was just about to head out for a little waterfall hunting with my sweet children, Samuel,
Audrey, Caroline, Joe Joe,  and my hunk of man husband, Daniel. But then the phone
rang and my honey picked it up..so now I have a minute to start what I keep not finishing.

I've been procratinating writing this first post since hmmm I don't know exactly...too long.  Why, you ask?
Golly, I wish I could say for sure, except maybe... fear? I hate fear. I hate hate.
But maybe that's another post.

I started to start this thing last May. A lot has happened since then. (Another post for that too.)
Procrastination is a bugger, isn't it? I thought I had grown beyond some of that mess, but,
Tada! It flashes it's snarly grin....Well, not really. I guess it was , but that slimy vermin is slinking back toward it's hole since I am stepping out NOW. I am no longer technically procrastinating... (when I hit publish anyway)
HAHA! Take that devil! I am victorious! Thanks Lord!!

Another obstacle has been thinking  I won't do it "right". So, I went to the library and read a whole book on blogging called, Blogging for Bliss (it was a beautiful and encouraging book) I cannot remember the author's name (forgive me!!) But I will find it and let you know. The book interviewed many popular bloggers and most of them said to" just go for it." They addressed a lot of my  psychobabble and the consensus was 
step out and get started.

So, here I am. I'm determined to overcome this ridiculous, yet real, fear factor and join the blogging world today. Get lost procrastination temptation! I am on a roll now!

Thanks for listening to me whoever you are out there..if you are out there..

Determination
closes the door
to the temptation
for procrastination.

That is a pseudo quote (as well as I remembered it) from Dave Meyer (Joyce's hubby). Pretty cool huh?

Have a blessed and wonderfully victorious day!!
Love,
Kathryn
