And so it begins

For quite some time, I have been contemplating starting a blog.  My ideas for it have varied from my struggles with weird health issues to just the everyday craziness of life.  Then it suddenly occurred to me that my blog could run the gamut and cover all of those things and more! 

Wonderful friends in my life, including my dear, sweet husband, have encouraged me to write about my thoughts, crazy things that happen at work, and all of the silly, exciting, transcendental, quirky, fun trouble I find outside of work.  And said wonderful friends have been integral parts of all this trouble - whether they are willing or reluctant participants or the actual ones who spearheaded the adventure itself. 

I will keep this first post brief by giving you some insight into my mind that will help you better understand why this blog will be a scattered mishmash of whatever strikes me as "important" for the day.  Recently, someone at work sent me an email with a video entitled "The Nothing Box."  It was a highly entertaining comedy routine about the differences between men and women.  Frankly, it could not have hit any closer to home if it tried.  The comedian describes women's brains as being completely interconnected where every thought is somehow related to another thought and so on.  Men, on the other hand, have this keen ability to disconnect themselves from their thoughts and go to their "nothing box."  The "nothing box" is what I am in search of for myself, but, in the meantime, as I seek out this ability to quiet my mind, I hope you enjoy what I have to share.

At the risk of sounding like I'm copying "Seinfeld," this blog will be about lots of everything while in search of nothing.
