Experimental 1st post

I am always telling my first grade students that if they can't think of anything to write about during writers' workshop they should write about how they can't think of anything to write. My theory is that if they plunge in and begin writing, it will help them think. It's with that thought in mind that I'm writing this first post. I'm not sure about many aspects of blogs. It goes against my cautious nature to begin something before I know all the ins and outs of it. Many of my family members have blogs and I thoroughly enjoy reading them, but I don't know many of the logistics of managing a blog. My mom, of Daddy's Roses, has offered to walk me through this process. So, this first post is experimental. I'm jumping into the blogosphere without full knowledge of how far I'll travel or how I'll get there. I am taking this first step because I like to write and enjoy expressing myself through writing. I'm looking forward to writing about some of my thoughts, ideas, and experiences here. I am looking forward to this journey.
