A New Adventure..........

Well, here I am doing something else I never imagined I would....writing a blog.  Im not sure if there is some kind of 'blog etiquette' or 'blog protocol' ?? ....I may or may not post this....I'll just go with the flow for now and see what emerges.
Now Ive started to type, Im remembering starting a diary with belly-bubbling excitement and a sense of sanctuary found....believing that anything I felt or thought or wondered about could find a home within its pages.....UNTIL.....it was discovered and caused a whole heap of trouble and shouting shenanigans....I suspect that, along with a tangled web of other 'stuff', I never quite got over it, and turned instead to writing poetry.....I must do a reccy in the Attic and find them.....
I do know that my sense of 'parameters' can be questionable as far as self-preservation goes.  One striking moment around the time of the Diary Debacle was discovering in a Biology lesson what a semi-permeable membrane was ....and thinking very clearly 'I need one of those'................

SO ............. I start an Artist's Blog and find myself returning to my early teens ??? .... and I see how inevitable that must be......because it was then that I started to put to death the artist within......it took 35 years to resurrect her....and another 7 to nourish her enough to stand and paint without anxiety, create a website and begin to write this blog.............................x
