Let's back up. As you can see, I branched out into the blogging world several years ago. I wrote a few entries, got a new cat, and promptly left this world in the dust. Fast forward three years, I am sitting in our shiny, new, two-bedroom apartment, typing away in what will be our baby girl's bedroom. Yes, folks, Adam and I are having a baby. If you already know us, you already know this, since I'm about seven-and-a-half months along!
So here we are: my last post was in January of 2008. We had just adopted a cat named Smokey, and my world was subsequently changed by his silly-kitty antics. We went from being a quiet home of two newlyweds, to a home with a big, friendly, attention-loving feline with mega-meowing powers. Now that I'm mostly used to Smokey's Smokey-ness, we'll be adding another disturbance to the force. Perhaps a good topic for a blog post: How Adopting a Pet Prepares for Parenthood.
Let's get back on track: living with passion. I was trying to find an appropriate, but not too cheesy, title for the newer posts of this blog, and "living with passion" came to my mind. These days, I work forty hours a week at the front desk of a medical office, doing generally the same thing day after day, and I typically don't feel too passionately about anything (usually because I'm worn out). Think about it, though: isn't this one of the [many] things blogging is? Following the life of a regular person as s/he proceeds through daily life, hurtling toward the unknown. I may not be feeling too passionate lately, but why not make an effort to live more passionately, and then document it blog-style for the world to see (along with everyone else, doing the exact same thing).
So there's your title, folks. In the coming months, I hope to live more passionately as a woman, a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, an employee, etc. You lucky duck, you'll get to witness that journey right in this here blog!
Are you ready?
