Day 1: START A BLOG.
Simple, I know. But I’m taking baby steps, sticking a toe outside that comfort zone to test the waters. Plus, it’s going to take me all day just to figure out all the bells and whistles on this website.
I also wanted to lay down my rules of engagement. (You’ll soon learn that I’m a very rule-oriented person. Hmmm, future challenge there?)
Rule #1: I am not here to dole out advice. I don’t have nearly enough knowledge or experience to offer any sound advice to my fellow military spouses out there. But I’m hoping to share other blogs on my page to point you in the right direction if that’s what you’re seeking (that is, once I figure out how to do that).
Rule #2: The purpose of this blog is neither to bash the military nor profess my undying love for it. Remember, it’s just background noise.
Rule #3: I do not have a political agenda, and I’d appreciate it if you kept yours to yourself.
Rule #4: My proposed format is as follows: I will begin each day by announcing my challenge. (If I wait until my day has started, I am much more likely to reconfigure something I’ve already done and call it my daily challenge. Kind of like adding a task to your to-do list after you’ve completed it just so you can cross something off. Come on, you know you’ve done it!) And I will end each day by sharing whether or not my mission was a success, a failure, or was aborted due to extenuating circumstances.
Rule #5: I am open to suggestions (within reason). Feel free to drop me a line with ideas about what I should challenge myself to do. However, please keep in mind that I don’t drink coffee, I’m not in the market for a pet, and I am adamantly opposed to plastic surgery. And let’s keep it clean folks. This is a family blog.
I think that covers it.
