Curve balls

So here I am in front of my empty, empty blog. When did I have the idea to start this? And why haven't I composed anything.
Probably because of fear. Beacause I don't want to dig up old wounds, even though I want to write. In fact, right now I'm thinking of heading over to Facebook to play Bejeweled Blitz, because, well, it would be easier than writing. All it would take is a click on the tab.
But I am reminded recently of how important it is to make use of the time you've got. Because it's running out. And you don't know when that will be.
I'm pretty rusty though. It's going to take some real rough and tumble to get me going. I may really push against not doing this. But somehow I know it's important for me to do. (Not so much the blogging, as the actual writing).
I am not sure yet what I'll be writing about, but it may simply be about writing. And making art. And living creatively. And appreciating all that's beautiful in this world. I will most definitely be writing about crafts - but that belongs somewhere else.
Words have always inspired me. I appreciate when they are chosen carefully. Humans should be taught from the get go of how important it is to choose your words carefully, for they can do so much damage.
I am looking forward to what I can learn about myself by writing in this new (for me) format.
