One in a Million

Please forgive me if my return to blogging and discussing of The Pie and Apron Life has been excessively verbose. It’s just that I’m still hashing out my intent for this space, trying to claim my purpose. I know that I am one in a million in the blog world and that much of what I have to say is not revolutionary. But I also know that what I have to say is mine. It is the same and different all at once in that the topics may be similar to others, but everyone has a unique perspective that has been built through their individual experiences, values, and perceptions.

Even though I started this blog almost five years ago, I’m kind of starting fresh this week. I was hesitant to come back because it’s important to me to revitalize this space and make it more than it’s been, and I know that will take effort. Effort that maybe I’d rather be using towards other things, tangible things.

Part of me thinks it’s silly to continue blogging, because there are so many bloggers out there with way bigger, more interesting lives than mine. But I suppose that’s the beauty of the blogosphere. People write from all walks and places and stages in life. Some of them taking small moments of everyday life and making them memorable and important. Which is what I want to be doing with my days – making the ordinary extraordinary… even when it’s not, I want to write about it like it is. Not necessarily for others, but to help me keep a positive perspective, one that helps me move forward and one that promotes being grateful for even the smallest things.

Maybe no one else will read and maybe these posts will just be a chronicle of my days, a way to look back at what I was doing and what was on my mind and how it changed over time. And really, that’s fine with me. All the rest will just be pie a la Mode!
