Here we go...

Well. Hm. Here I am.

I am not a writer or a poet. I don't even pretend to have an affinity for the written word. But damn it, I love to talk and I have a brave soul.

Thoughts knock around in my head all day and I've decided that they need to be put somewhere. They need to be put somewhere where they can be nurtured and taken care of. I certainly do none of that and they're starting to knock me back. My boyfriend, Justin, also has a post. I love reading it and I love the idea of it. So I guess that this is a kind of envious copycat venture into a world that I've never been a part of. Ha. How exciting. Makes me feel a little dirty...in an intellectual way.

After much consultation with my coworker Scott, I've decided to name this post "Diastolic". It's a commonly used medical term pertaining to blood pressure, specifically the pressure that is created when a heart is relaxed and refilling with blood. So take that as you will and I hope that my posts will shed some light on my choice as I fumble through this process. It's a very hopeful name, don't you think?

So again, here I am. Dear God please bear with me... :-)
