Paradise Written...

How should I kick this off?  I have an innate desire to write.  About my life, about my interests, about my surroundings.  I don't really know why; I guess it's just who I am, and how I was made.  I guess at the root of it, it's a form of expression for me.  I believe I can express myself in writing much better than I can in speech, or music, or drawing or anything else.  Not that those things don't interest me.  They do.  It's just that writing comes easier for me for some reason.  Or at least as I've come to believe.  It could be a skewed view of myself and my gifts- I guess it will come to pass as I see how this blog plays out, but I'm going to do this as a private enterprise, and see if I'll keep at it- or if just something that I ended up doing on a whim.  I think it will continue, because more than once a day I think about how I'd like to write about things that I see and experience.  

I've begun a blog like this, with a similar title in the past.  Those of you who know me, understand that the nature of my profession led to me being, shall we say, motivated, to take it down.  Apparently a transparent life is not always acceptable in certain professions.  Especially mine, as interesting as it was to my family and friends.  As a result, I'm going to minimize my discussions of my profession on this, and focus more on my interests.  Although, when I started my last blog, my greatest interest was my profession.  Fortunately, that has changed.  And I find myself wanting to write about more my interests than my profession alone.

So if you find yourself reading this, I hope you enjoy what you find.  It's my life.  Or most of it anyway... oh- in case you are wondering... 'Why Paradise?'  Well... thanks to my profession, I'm moving there soon...  Cheers.
