Lightning is AWESOME!

So, last night, I decided to do something good and productive this coming Christmas. With Kevin working, I figured I would stay at home and wallow, but then last night, I decided to try and visit our local VA Hospital that day. As I was filling out the online volunteer applicatin, something hit me like a bolt of lightning. See, I've been struggling with what to do in school ever since a counselor let me know that I can't do the Nursing Program because of my bad back. To add insult to injury, I had a 4.0 curricular GPA at the time, and I would've been a shoo-in to get into the program. Anyway, first, I thought I wanted to be a Social Worker, then I thought about Journalism, then I thought about teaching Honor's English to high schoolers. However, today, I figured it out...I want to work for a non-profit organization!!! I've always liked charity and volunteering, so I really think that I've found my niche. I'm not saying that I've figured out the meaning of life, but, for now, this bolt of lightning is enough.

Let the Journey Begin...

So, here I am. I've been meaning to set up a blog for ages, something other than the one I used with Myspace, but I just never got around to it. Anyway, I'm here now, and I promise to do my best to post here often. I hope whoever reads this here blog will get inspired, or will just be able to deviate from the craziness that is our world for a little bit, hence the title of my blog. Comments are ALWAYS welcome, but rude language and other inappropriate comments will NOT be tolerated. After all, if you don't like what I have to say, DON'T READ IT!! So, have fun, kids! This should be interesting..
