Just a Newbie

I've attempted a few times in the past to begin a blog & keep it going.

Every time, the writing has slipped through my fingers & I get caught up in my life.

But this time, I feel different.

Different like starting the page of a new book.

Different like embarking on a brand new adventure, pages turning over as each day passes.

This blog is my story. 

This chapter begins today, but I do not want to skim over the chapters in my past.

I hope to share my laughs, hopes, dreams, embarrassing moments, recipes, workouts, adventures, & experiences here with you.

It is very typical of most people to write a long list of resolutions as the New Year begins. Myself, included. And by mid-January, when the happy daze of vacation has passed, and life starts picking up again, those lists become clouded with things to get done in the present. Papers to be written. Topics to be studied. Next thing you know, visits to the gym become less frequent. Television shows are watched instead of reading a book or taking a walk. It seems so easy to get lost in the world trying to discover who you are, and this little journal of my life is my journey. I want to, as cliche as this may be, take time to stop and smell the roses. 

Today, in Tallahassee, it is a rainy, gloomy, day. My hair has since evolved from straight and smooth to wavy and frizzy. My umbrella almost was blown out of my hands by the force of the wind. Yet today is a another day. I am thankful to have thick hair that can be styled. I am glad to have brought an umbrella with me today in the first place, instead of forgetting it hanging in my closet like usual. I am thankful for this day to be able to walk through my beautiful campus of FSU, and see the way the bricks and colors pop in the rain. 

I hope that you will come back often and visit this blog, and come on this adventure with me. One of my favorite things is discovering a new blog to keep up with, so go ahead and bookmark it! 

Until next time, 

Rebecca

Want to look at my past endeavor? 
http://rebecca-at-the-beach.blogspot.com is a blog that I wrote during my freshman year of high school while my family & I traveled around the country. Looking back at all of the pictures & adventures is so fun! Also, the latest 2 posts on the blog I'm pretty sure are spam from the site being inactive for so many years....woops

https://chroniclesofawishfulthinker.wordpress.com is a blog I started writing last spring semester, about a year ago. I suppose this is the beta version of this blog. I found that I missed blogger, which is one reason why I am just starting all over.

Ok, bye for realz this time :)
