Number one

Ok, I'm doing it.  I've twiddled the idea in the back of my mind for a solid month now, and I'm ready to commit to the first plunge.  I'm giving blogging another shot.  I may have less than regular posting habits, but it's a start.  Livejournal has a prompting community and I'll probably use that to create a writing habit, at least at first.  I used to use livejournal, but blogger is set up much more intuitively.  I may cross back over; we'll have to see.  So prompt number one is this photo:

To find joy in the mundane and everyday is to know how to live in happiness.  It's not easy to do, but it's worth every effort.  Susan (we'll say the lovely leaping lady is named Susan) probably knows many of the secrets of life: vibrantly colored underwear give you uncannily super-hero-like abilities; fears are opportunities for growth; and sometimes all you need is a broom (guitar) or a loofah (microphone) to put the world right again.  I know those to be solemnly truthful facts, all of which involve shaking loose your inhibitions and embracing what is personally meaningful.

Emerson once said, "Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."  

If today didn't work out so well, there is always tomorrow.
