Welcome to My Blog

I have been thinking about starting one for some months now.

I enjoy posting my thoughts on Facebook and Twitter, though; I am sometimes frustrated with their limitations. I regularly follow several bloggers, and I am just as interesting and insightful as they are.

I am not sure where this will go of if anyone will read it (well… you are, so that answers that.) I do know that I will write about my thoughts, my fears, my dreams.

Along with some misspelled words; I expect there will be a rant from time to time. My politics, my inner nerd and (I hope) my spirituality will be obvious.

I am a woman, a mother of two, a wife for more than 30 years, a student (a non-traditional one at that,) a teacher (just as non-traditional,) an artist (in my own way.) I work full-time; I have one dog, one cat, and soon I will be a grandmother.

I call my blog Rubenesque because I am, and I like words and fun facts; I think it makes me seem smarter than I am. I am smart, although, I have not always been able to prove it. I wish I were better at being smart.

Undiagnosed with ADD and Dyslexia until my oldest child was … oops… I also expect that I will get off track and off topic from time to time.

OK, back to why I have called my blog Rubenesque: I have been Rubenesque most of my adult life. The truth is I wish I weren’t. It has not been a good thing and I fully expect it will kill me.

I take care of other, but I need to take better care of myself – I need to love myself more. Maybe I will start now.

I said I am not sure where this blog will go; I do know that I will write about my thoughts, my fears, my dreams and my journey to loving myself more.
