First Time

I am venturing out into the land of blogs. First, to find out how to do one; second because I think I'm a frustrated writer that always got B's in composition in college. Maybe this will help me become a better writer. I'm not always going to correct my syntax, my dangling participles, and my run on sentences. I actually think that the era of text messages and email has created a new style of writing. I'll probably employ that style here.



So my blog- Benn there. Sort of a play on my name of sorts. But also a nod to my maturity. Because, dear reader... I have reached that milestone of age-dom. But I still cannot accept it. But I have "been there", probably done that, and have gained wisdom from it. I have learned that it is better to be humble about one's experience and knowledge than to spout off about it. However, I do take occassion to go to my "been there" lines when it comes to discussions with my child. Despite what she thinks, my wisdom and hard lessons are there for her to learn from not tune out.



My posts will mostly be about my journey into the next year. I have a huge transition coming my way. So I'm hoping that anything I've learned from my past will lead me through the next new thing.
