Magnolia Moment - Introduction

For the past few years, I've been looking for a creative outlet.  My chosen career only has limited creative aspects.  I have always had a bit of an artistic soul, though.  I've been depriving my creative self, so I decided to blog.  I used to write a lot -- mainly short stories, but occasionally journalistic type pieces.  

I intend to write about several aspects of my life here.  The idea is to step back from the rut of life and express myself...however I deem fit for that blog post.  I am auditing my life this year, so I will post some about that.  I am also reading for pleasure more so I may critique some books here.  I may even write some short stories and poetry, who knows.  However I express myself, I hope to entertain and be a positive influence on others. 

Magnolia, Texas

 

I named this blog "Magnolia Moment" because back in March/April of 1997, I went to a wedding outside of Magnolia, Texas.  As I was pulling into town, I had a sudden sense of happiness. From then on, those moments were "Magnolia Moments". I haven't had one in quite some time. I generally feel blessed in my life, but true happiness has been rare in the last few years.   I'll be working to change that in 2023.
