So, this is the beginning. The VERY beginning of the beginning. I guess I should start by saying: this was not my idea. I honestly never really thought about starting a blog until I received a ton of encouragement from friends & family, who steadily commented that if I started a blog, "they would follow." Who are they? Well, I guess we'll find out.
It's true. I have always enjoyed writing; there is no doubt about that. As much as I talk (and talk, and talk), it might be shocking to know that I love to write even more. And if you take that love of writing, and combine it with the fairly interesting experiences I have been lucky enough to have experienced, and do experience, and the crazy people/places/things I tend to run head-long into - well, I guess that's why I am where I am...which is here. My very first BLOG entry. Someone, cut a ribbon and break a champagne bottle!
The title of my blog: bluepaintedblue. No, I am not a perpetually sad/blue person, in fact - the total opposite. I am, in fact, annoyingly happy, upbeat, and positive at almost all times. My blog title is the translation of one of my favorite songs of all time - "Nel blu dipinto di blu," in English - "In the Blue Painted Blue." Or as most English-speaking people mistakenly call it: "Volare," which, in Italian, means, "to fly." This song, these words, are the inspiration for my blog b/c that song makes me smile every time I hear it, and it reminds me of travel, of soaring, of succeeding, and of experiencing new and exciting things that I hope to come in touch with again, over and over. I hope you have that kind of life too, and those kind of experiences, and that - if you do not as yet - you seek to :)
