This Crazy Little Thing Called Blog

I have had an itch to write a book for a number of years now. I keep telling myself that, not only am I not a writer, I just don't have the attention span to write much more than a Haiku! But that doesn't stop me from wanting to write. That's what attracted me to blogging. A place where I can write as little or as much as I feel like writing, in no particular order, or even about anything in particular!
Being that I'm really not the type of person that just rushes into things, I sat for about a year, contemplating a blog of my own. Well, I didn't just sit, I moved a couple of times, got married, went through a few changes in life! During all of that, the desire to start writing kept getting bigger. Multiple things would go through my head each day that I wanted to write about. Not that I feel anyone else would be interested in reading anything I write, more for my own remembrance. I think it's important to remember the steps we've taken in life that have brought us to where we are and who we are. And I've learned that as I get older, it's harder to remember everything!
It wasn't as easy to get this thing going as I thought it would be! That might be silly to most, but I am not incredibly computer savvy! At one point, I threw my laptop aside exclaiming, "This is supposed to be fun! This is supposed to be a way for me to relieve tension, not create more!!" My sweet, supportive husband reassured me that I wasn't stupid, tried to help me figure it out, then encouraged me to just take a break! A very wise man.  
It had just been a rough day from the start. Both my kids had decided to be obstinate and difficult that morning. Nothing new, it just rained on the good mood I woke up in. I told them not to talk to me unless it was a respectful apology and I proceeded to walk out the door in search of peaceful solitude in the back yard. Which I found, and again it stirred the desire to write!
I went inside and created my blog. As I said, it was frustrating, but I did it! I sat staring at my accomplishment, eager to start this journey! I sat... and I sat?? What about everything that I've been wanting to write about for years?? Where did it all go?? You can't get writer's block before you even start writing! Can you?! I figured that I was just too overcome with excitement about this new potential at my fingertips. Creating the blog was probably enough for one day. Get a good night's sleep and start writing tomorrow.
The good night's sleep never happened. Wide awake from 1 am till half an hour before my alarm was set to go off at 5 am. Yes, I was mulling over things I wanted to write about. But more than that, I was not feeling well. Nothing new, but a little bit more than usual. This week has been particularly stressful. My husband just got laid off. Probably getting sick from the bundle of emotions letting down. So while I would rather be taking time out of a busy day to write instead of being sick in bed, it feels good to start writing.
