In the Beginning

  When I was a girl I dreamed of becoming a writer, I started and stopped the next great American novel so many times.  I told myself stories all the time but never really got to the point of finishing all the starts.  I was young and had so much time I figured I would get to them later but never saved them and life went on and like so many childish fantasies the stories I told myself stayed just that. The wonderful thing about the internet is that now I have a place to put those musings, those thoughts.  People can choose to read them or not.  I have always been very opinionated, and not afraid to share those opinions whether asked for or not.  It gets me into trouble especially when I encounter someone whose opinions differ from my own.  Maturity and wisdom bring insight and regret.  There is so much to learn when you listen.  I may not agree with everything others say but life would be very boring if everyone agreed.  I am also very political, I am proud to say I am a Christian, Conservative, Republican.  I usually view most things through that lens.  This new blog which I have created will be chock full of lots of musings, all the thoughts in my head will be written down.  I may get political and for those that may read it who lean left may find much to disagree with me about, you are entitled to your beliefs, and I will not argue with you.  I enjoy working out and if you followed my last blog you may find more musings from the fitness quest here as well.  Finally I may write a story or poem whatever strikes my fancy at the time.  My dream in life from the time I was young until now was to make a difference.  I believe in God, I believe he guides my steps, maybe something that I write about will make a positive difference for someone somewhere.  In the beginning was Helen Melissa, this is me, welcome to the musing of my mind.
