I hope that friends and family feel I am just "a puddle jump away". A puddle although not always easy to cross gives a great sense of accomplishment to the person who tries and succeeds. And a good laugh to those who try but end up in the middle, slightly wet and more than a little muddy. Either way, I have found myself on the other side of the puddle. I made the jump with quite a few splashes but most definetly a big smile. I am sure there will be many more splashes and smiles before i find myself back on the other side of the puddle. So whether you decide to make the literal jump to visit or just stop by and read about this side, I like knowing I am just a puddle away. I am by no means a great writer and in reality a blog is a bit of a stretch for me but I often encounter funny stories or experiences in life and instead of typing the same story to five different people it will be nice to write it once and those who choose to read can with no obligation or pressure. Sometimes the idea of writing to the universe is appealing. So for those who drop by I hope you find something to enjoy in what I write!
