Drumroll please

Well, here it is. I have wanted to start a blog for a while now, and here it is! Ta da!

Here are my reasons:
1. I love reading blogs by people that I know, especially friends who are far away. This is a good way for me to keep track of them and perhaps my friends will use this to keep track of me.
2. I want to work on my writing skills. At the moment I consider them to be mediocre.
3. I hope to gain a more positive outlook, especially about my life (hence the blog name).
4. I would like to keep people up to date on what I am doing as well as catalog things I do like craft projects, volunteer work, school, etc.

So, why "Positively Miscellaneous"?
I took a page from Charlotte's book: she loves the word "minutiae" and created a blog with that title. I have always liked "miscellaneous" and I think that's a good word to describe my life--many miscellaneous components, many of which are unrelated and much of which will end up here. As I stated above, I would like to use this in a positive, reflective way. I am not always very good at being positive, but I hope that this will point me in the right direction. There you have it, "Positively Miscellaneous."
