My very first post

I decided to join the masses and keep my own blog.

I find it fascinating when I read entries my blogging friends have written...even the mundane posts. I'll be the first to admit my life isn't terribly eventful; I don't seek out adventure, and I'm not eloquent, but I still think have a few things to share.

Deciding on an address and title was tricky, but I quite like "Inspired by Hope and Surprised by Joy". Inspired by Hope comes from 1 Thessalonians 1:3, and Surprised by Joy is the title of a book by C.S. Lewis (a favourite author of mine).
