Day One - Insecurities

Why have I decided to write my first blog about insecurities?  Why such a heavy topic right off the bat? 

Everyone has insecurities.  I am no different.  I am insecure as a mother, wife, friend, and writer. 

As a mother I worry I will not be able to protect my child from life's danger and heartaches.  I worry that her schooling will not adequately prepare her for the future.

As a wife I am insecure about living up the the standards set by others.  I worry about balancing my role as a wife while still taking time for myself and my dreams and goals in life.

As a friend I am insecure about what I have to offer others.  Do I shut the world out?  Am I a good listener?

My biggest insecurities have to do with my writing.  My worries: Do I have anything to say?  Will people care?  Can I even write?  Can I be witty, sound intelligent, gain the interest of readers?

I did not start this blog with the intention of writing about serious issues in my life.  I plan to write about what is going on in my life, the good and the bad.  Mostly the humorous. 

Over the years I have come to notice that the little things are what matter.

Now that I have this bit out of the way and you, as my blog reader, understand my insecurities I can begin.
