Holy, Hannah ... You found me! Welcome to my blog, jan: plain and simple.

Well, this is pretty darn cool! If you are reading this, that means you were successful in finding my brand new blog:  jan:plainandsimple. I'm excited about my latest journalistic endeavor and warmly welcome you in on the ground floor to follow along. As my blog grows and evolves, you will have bragging rights to say,

 "Hey, I knew her when!"

 

  Since I have already spent most of the afternoon and evening setting things up, building the ABOUT ME section, which I encourage you to take the time to read, and barely getting my toes wet when it comes to learning my way around the world of blogging  --  the terminology, the rules, the various styles and the purpose and mission of developing a blog to begin with  --  I pretty much blew all of my creative energy for one day. I promise to come up with something to share with you tomorrow that I hope at least some of you will find interesting, humorous, helpful or entertaining.

 

Oh, and just in case you were wondering what on earth possessed me do this to begin with -- well, I have had several friends encourage me to start a blog. Plain and simple. Actually, I've even had a few people tell me that I should write a book. Now, whether they were just humoring me or blowing smoke, or whether they actually think I have something worthy to offer, I am not sure. What I am certain of, however, is that I am not usually at a loss for words or opinions, some more popular than others. I am also certain that my limited attention span is not likely to allow for me to complete a project as large as an actual book, so this is my way of taking a baby step.

 

 So, what if I don't get even a single follower, you may ask? Well, at the very least I consider this to be a way of journaling -- and journaling can be a very effective therapeutic coping method (blah blah blah) that most of us could benefit from, as I remind our patients on a daily basis.

 

So until tomorrow, my dear friends, sweet dreams ... and  peaceandlove!

 

Oh, and please be sure to leave me a comment, even it is just your first name  --  so I know whether I am sitting here talking to myself (not that there's anything wrong with that)!
