The first step is the hardest, to paraphrase some wise man (or woman) who said that once.
I have typed and retyped post after post, hoping that something beautiful and amazing would find its way in front of me, something that would make you want to comeback and talk again.
I guess blogging is like a big conversation. You can enjoy every minute by just listening but its the sharing with others that is life. So I guess am pulling up a chair to the table.
So for those whose words I have read, words that have kept me company during my days at sea and those nights when sleep was elusive, and gave me new ideas and perspectives, thank you for you all of it.
I hope I have some words of my own with which to repay you for yours.
And to those who find themselves here, I hope that God will bless this little project of mine with something for you as well.
More to come...more to come....
welcome to blogging man... looking forward to it... i'm sure you've got some amazing things you could talk about.

Welcome aboard Alex! Not sure if we met on the chat last night or not (we were slackers and signed off around 10:30ish...)
But seriously...Thanks for what you are doing!

Congrats on the bold endeavor! I have yet to be so brave. I merely read others and comment when the mood stikes. Wishing you much success.

Glad to see you pulled up a chair, Adam. I have a few loved ones either overseas or in the reserves. I'm looking forward to hearing your take on life.
God bless.

Welcome, Adam! I think it was Sheryl Crow who said "the first cut is the deepest... baby, I know." Just clarifying.
