First Entry

So the past year and a half has been difficult for me. I'd be lying if I said things were all better, but I'm trying to heed a friend's advice to keep pushing forward even during times when I don't feel like it. I've learned that writing can be a very therapeutic process, so I've spent a good deal of the last 18 months keeping a private journal. It's helped a lot, but let's face it...writing about your efforts to overcome some tough times can be a drag. So I thought it might be nice to start writing about other things...unrelated to me. I decided to keep a separate journal...one where I write about fun things, i.e. my interests and such. I remembered how I enjoyed running my ladies figure skating site (when it was just me behind it...circa 98-2000) and I thought keeping a blog where I can express my thoughts on my favorite discipline might be a relaxing, simple way to keep busy. I have no idea if anyone will ever read this, and I'm fine with that. In fact, I should be writing for me anyway, but if someone else happens to read this blog and enjoys what it has to offer then that's nice too. :)
