Reality

Okay, Jewels officially stinks at blogging.  

This is exactly what I was afraid of. 

I started this blog with all these great hopes of creating something AWESOME and FABULOUS.  So far it's awesomely & fabulously empty and boring.  I really thought that I would be more motivated to write my thoughts down and reflect on the things happening around me.  Clearly, that's not the case...or my life is really just that boring.  

Truth is, I find myself second guessing everything that I want to write about.  Is it funny?  Is this dumb?  Does anyone want to hear about this?  Is anyone even reading this?  What if so-and-so sees it? On and on and on!  I've had to come to a place where I'm comfortable to write and talk about WHATEVER I want!  This is MY blog...and really...it's just that.  A blog.  The idea that people are even reading this/following it, is pretty ridiculous in the first place...so why get worried about their opinions?

I had an idea that I would talk about Pinterest, cooking, married life...and there is nothing wrong with blogging about those things...but everyone and their brother has a blog dedicated to recipes and crafting!  I realized that I was simply copying all of the other blogs that I had been reading and following.  I created this, to be able to write reflect on things that I'm experiencing.  Plus, It will be cool to look back on it once the cowboy and I reach different milestones in our lives.

Here's to a new beginning!  The goal is to write once a week, about something with actual content.  No recipes and no Pinterest-finds for month #1.  I'm going to force myself to write something with substance...or what I would consider substance.  Others may not care for it.  Who cares about that though...right?
