First Entry

Well, this is my first official blog entry. It's a big deal for me who's typically reserved and private. But I suppose I have a desire to write my feelings, observations, thoughts and share them with whomever is interested in listening. I don't know quite where to start, only that I'm super excited and I hope this turns out to be rewarding.

Every morning before I begin my day at work, I send an email to my best friend. She's a lawyer too. In this ritualistic email, I don't expect a response from her, as she practices a different area of law than I, and so is often on the road on her way between different courthouses. But I write her the nonetheless. Perhaps it's a chance for me to reflect and ponder the upcoming day of a profession that I have detested until only quite recently.

I write a lot of funny stuff to my best friend. And it seems that every morning I have so much to say. I just get so much off my chest. It makes my day so much more bearable. But why send her an email? As opposed to just keeping my reflections to myself? After all, I write in a journal, the old fashioned kind. I'm not sure I know the answer. I must on some level obviously want to share my experiences with someone else. I find comfort in knowing I'm not the only one.

This is not going to be a blog about how a lawyer hates her profession. Most people are surprised to find out I am one. I am quirky, sensitive, funny, and down to earth. I am super mellow and low-key. It's just going to be my blog. Someone may read it, someone may not. Maybe no one will read it. Maybe people will write mean things to me. I guess I'll take that chance until it's too much to bear and I stop this blogging thing. I guess I'll find out.
