“Just start, Tina”. That is what I tell myself today as I launch TimeTravelsandTribluations.com. Then we will see what happens.
Reading and writing has been a favorite pasttime of mine throughout my life. I read and write to explore, learn, share and sometimes just to help me figure things out. It has been my therapy, my escape, my entertainment and a sharing of my feelings that are hard to express otherwise.
Formulating it all into a blog is simply a long-put-off next step…sort of digitizing a journal that I no longer am keeping to myself. It will meander in no particular order, neither exclusively chronological nor following a single subject. It is simply my life a little more out there in black and white print, in a world that is more full of gray.
In a matter of a few weeks, my nest will be empty. Every “baby chick” will be out of the house. For the first time in decades, I will not be living with any children of any age. It will just be me and my husband and a few pets. Wow. We certainly got here with unexpected twists and some hard left turns, and it certainly was not all rainbows and unicorns. It was just life…a lot of it. I feel like I’ve already lived a few lives in my 53 years and that this next phase of whatever God has planned for us is another big step into the unknown. I am waiting for it all with a glad and grateful heart.
If you enjoy what I write, terrific. If you find it helpful, funny, thought-provoking or interesting, even better! If you disagree, please comment respectfully. If you dislike what you see, please just don’t read it. I read and write for me, but am sharing with you as well. I am old enough to be less concerned with criticism and believe that we all have life experiences that can help others. All of our lives are unique, but there isn’t too much that we don’t experience that hasn’t already been experienced by someone else, so perhaps hearing a little bit of each other’s stories can help us all.
So please enjoy the TIME you have, enjoy safe TRAVELS and give your TRIBULATIONS to God.
"Then if you call to me in time of trouble I will rescue you and you will honor me." Psalm 50:15
