Welcome to my thoughts

I am a well-meaning but poorly-tempered, open-minded yet critical-thinking student of life.  I have always wanted to find an outlet for all these thoughts that seem so hard to describe verbally.  I have rarely strayed from trying new things, except when it comes to food, so let's see if I can create something that will entertain you and make you leave having learned something, whether about me, the world or my cats.  Facebook was a popular outlet for me but I would like to present something with much more substance and elbow grease, instead of what often turned out to be a quickly-written rant.  Still, what I write here may shock you, make you laugh, make you cry or make you feel mad.  I only hope it does anything but bore you.  I look forward to sharing my journey through life's triumphs and challenges, while trying to be the best I can be.  Until next time, take care.
