Day 1


No, I will not number each day of my blogs but I did feel like it was an appropriate way for me to begin. I hope to use this space on the web to connect and reconnect with friends, new and old. My plan is to faithfully use my camera to capture a little of what is going on in the O'Hara family, write out my thoughts, and eagerly await responses from friends like you! I never fully understood the use of these blogs until a friend suggested I take a look at her friend's blog. Wow! If I am able to do half of what she has done, then I will call my self a successful blogger! You may be asking yourself, "When will you ever have time to accurately keep up a blog?" And that is a good question, if you have not heard the news... I retired from teaching this year! I call it retiring but Vann calls it quitting. We have decided to compromise with the term resigning. After many agonizing nights about what God wanted me to do, I finally heard Him and reached a decision on Valentine's night. And I have never looked back! I still love the children. I love who I work with and who I work for, I am just tired... tired of not always feeling like I have done all I can do for each child, each day. After a while, that begins to drain a person. I feel so blessed that Vann and I see eye to eye on this and that we both know it is His will for me as well. So what will I do with all my free time? Ha! You can just call me head cook, cleaner and chauffeur! (You get the picture) I am really looking forward to catching up with you as I figure my way through the world of blogging! Bear with me, Friends!!

Absolutely love it and would advise you to keep it up! We can hold each other accountable.

Congratulations on your retirement, oh I mean, resignment! And I know you'll be asking yourself this question... "What free time?"

I look forward to staying connected!

Hey Crazy Train,
Your name gives me no hint as to who you are. Please let me know who this Crazy Train is? Maybe I can convince you to be a fellow blog WRITER!
Thanks,
Julianne
