The journey begins...

Hello World, 

Wow, so it would seem that I have started my own first blog. Now, I'm not gonna lie, I haven't really read many blogs and I'm not normally into this kind of thing, so please bear with me while I get used to this cyber world. 

I do seem to have an ability to offend people with my thoughts, and as this is where I'm going to write my thoughts, you might be offended. Don't take anything I say personally, I don't think there are many truly bad people in the world so just because I don't agree with or like something you do, have done or choose, doesn't mean to say that I won't like you as a person. Saying that, you may not care if I don't like you, and you may not like me. We're all entitled to our opinions and I don't expect everyone to agree with what I say or to gain any friends by doing this. I am very lucky to have enough beautiful people in my life who brighten up my world, so gaining any more is not my goal. 

On the other hand, I don't intend to offend anyone, I accept that my opinions may cause offence, but I see that as your problem, not mine. 

Reading this far, I probably seem like a horrid person. I'm really not. I'm actually quite nice once you get to know me. I don't do lies and I don't break promises. I like to smile and always aim to be polite. I have some very strong beliefs and some beliefs that could do with more affirmation...if that makes any sense, it does in my head. I think I'm a fair person and try not to judge anyone based on other peoples opinions. I also wouldn't judge a person as whole, based on a decision they have made that I don't agree with. I believe that everyone has the right to make their own decisions and mistakes and everyone has the right to agree or disagree with what they see or hear. I also believe though, that just because we may agree or disagree, doesn't make us right. There is no right and wrong for everyone, just what is right and wrong for us as individuals. 

So, you've read this far. Are you interested enough to carry on reading? You might have formed many opinions about me already, you might be reserving judgement for what I might write further along the line. Either way, thanks for getting this far. 

I've given you quite an insight into my true self already. Started off near the deep end of my psyche, let me take you to the shallow end. The bits that everyone has access to, the everyday. 

At the time of writing this I am sitting on the better side of 30, have an amazing husband and two adorable cats. We have our own home that needs plenty of TLC, although we both seem more interested in looking at the work that needs doing, rather than doing it. I do seem to dedicate more of my time to my cats than I do most of the people in my life. I am a bit of a crazy cat lady, but that's how I like it. (In fact, if I get another shot at life, I'd like to come back as a cat with an owner like me. Totally independent and rules the house, fed on demand and sleeps a lot. Ideal!) I am very close to my immediate family, have been lucky with my in-laws and truly have the best friends. Without wanting to sound corny and mushy, I am blessed. (Not blessed in a God/religious way, just lucky and don't take it for granted.)

I've recently had a lot of time on my hands so have taught myself how to crochet using YouTube videos. I know, I know, it's not the "coolest" thing to do but it occupies my mind when I don't want to think about stuff and I'm not that bad at it. Plus, when I'm old (like in 30yrs time or so), I'll be able to make my grandchildren lots of old fashioned, embarrassing clothes. Not everyone can say that. 

Right, that's enough about me...think you know all you need to for now. Look out for my next blog, where I might let my grumpy side out.

Hope you don't feel too sleepy after all that!
