Life Lessons--or the lack thereof

I wish I had some great life lesson for you.

But I don't.

I remember in junior high (and high school) writing persuasive essays and I would try to write these powerful, passionate pieces. Oh I was going to change the world with my writing, inspiring others to make the world a better place. 

Yeah, it was pathetic. 

Maybe in the hands of a better writer or a more knowledgeable person...No, I'm not trying to put myself down. It's a fact: I can't write persuasive essays. I think my favorite was an essay in 7th grade about bullies and I used personal backstory to tell it. Oh man, I thought I had it made. Best essay in the history of essays. *snort* That's funny. It was so cheesy that it was funny. Not funny in a good way but funny as in 'bless you child, bless you' (one of my favorite phrases). I think I got a B on that essay or something. I'm pretty positive I didn't get an A.

So why this turn to life lessons and my ridiculous attempts at persuasive writing?

Because I've been reading blog articles lately, ones that have gotten a lot of buzz online. Those articles each carry a message and the authors were able to get those messages across in such a way that people read and talk about them whether positively or negatively. I like writing but I'm not very good at it (that's why I'm an English major) and well frankly I'm better live than on paper, radio or TV. It's a good thing we'll be family then. You get to experience The Jocelyn Show with a front row seat. I may even let you guest star in an episode. 

I will admit I am so proud of myself right now for today being day 4 of this endeavor and I'm still posting every day. Okay not super proud (it is only day 4) but still with my record? Definitely a clap-yourself-on-the-back moment. 

Side note: still have that christmas song in my head. We do not judge. We merely acknowledge and accept. (one of my trademark phrases--or it should be trademarked.)

I really don't know the point of today's post but since I clearly stated that I don't have a life lesson for you...

Actually I do have (what I think is) a fabulous idea for tomorrow's entry. I kind of want to write it now and have 2 posts today but no. I will not. Who knows? It might not even be that good. As I think on that idea it would be more therapeutic (for me to write at least) and definitely on a subject that I'll mention more of at future dates.
