Gotta start somewhere/sometime

I've been thinking about blogging. Thinking that it's a good way to keep track of how you feel and what you do while something is happening, instead of trying to recreate and remember everything after that thing is over. Say, hypothetically, after you're all good and married and you want to make a scrapbook. Better that I should blog as we go along so I can keep better notes, a better record.

But the thing is, sometimes for me, remembering without any notes makes for a "better" record, because I tend to forget the bad things that happen along the way. Good thing I have some observant folks in my life who help remind me about things that have happened, and some of them even see patterns of things that I would have missed entirely (or blocked out).

And I can imagine that in the year to come there will be lots of good and happy things, and lots of complicated things to work out, some hard feelings, some tense conversations. All normal in the course of planning a wedding, right? And/Or in the course of forging ahead in life and work and relationships of various kinds.

So here I am. Blogging. We'll see how it goes.
