For one week, anyway.
It all started like this: Last Sunday, Matt and I sat down and we each wrote down the first ten things that came to mind that would enrich our lives. No perimeters except that we needed to not think of them as goals, just things that would give life a little more pizazz. Things like "eat biscuits and gravy on a Wednesday morning" (one of Matt's. He was specific to say that this fattening deliciousness would be more life enriching if it was served on a weekday morning and not a Saturday. I don't know why, but maybe he's right). Mine went all over the place from the usual primary answers to things that I've never even tried but that I knew would just make life that more zappy. And one thing that was somewhere up top and in the middle and at the bottom of my list was simply this--------------------------
write.
So this week I am going to write. And what better forum than my ever-so sporadic and admittedly bland blog? I can't think of any. And because these blog things need pictures and I don't take pictures (becoming a photographer also made my list. Maybe I'll do that next week) I am including a picture of Matt and I from our Europe trip this summer. It was Appenzeller- cheese-by-the-lake, cloud-dusted-Alps, laugh-your-guts-out-over-gourmet-chocolate fabulous. And it has nothing to do with this post.

your pic made me think...have you been to chimney rock? not far from your house, great view, cool scenery.
Okay. Game on. I'll do one every day this week too. And I can't wait.
I just love you Mrs. McConkie, and love your writing. I've been such a bad blogger, that I've turned into a bad blog checker, but this is inspiration to be better at both. Write on!
