A blank white page like this can be intimidating and daunting especially when you are new to the blog world.  What would people want me to write about that would hold their attention?  Time is important so I shouldn’t waste it by going on and on about nothing.  Hmmm…maybe this is where I write a little bit about myself just to get going…

My desire for writing began in elementary school.  When the teacher would announce that all students would need to write a paper, the group groan reverberated off the walls. But, not me.  One time, I recall we were expected to write a fictional story.  The instructor had sheets of paper on her desk and if we needed more for writing, we had to go and get more to continue on.  My classmates began counting out loud how many times I sprinted back and forth between my desk and hers.  While they suffered with writer’s block and lack of imagination, I effortlessly filled page after page.

I love to write for the pure joy of it.  Now you know the secret behind my blog name,and it is a reference to a Bible scripture that has meant a lot to me.  I have found that if you can get rid of thinking about what is WRONG this creates room for what is RIGHT.  More on this later…

My purpose in writing this is to make my Facebook status posts shorter, to make you laugh and to encourage those who need it.  I hope you drop in from time to time with a nice cup of coffee….or tea…Together, we can think about those things that are lovely, pure and right.                                                   (Stinky and Me)
