So here goes....

So this is the first time I've ever done anything like this....but I hope I enjoy it and I hope others might enjoy it as well!

I've never been one to be quite so eloquent as others are, but I've been discovering a new me the past several months as I dig a little deeper into "who Shannon really is". I've been rediscovering things as well....like what I enjoy most. I've been thinking about what I want to do when I grow up, am I wanting to keep all the hats I'm wearing now in the future. Don't get me wrong, I love being a wife and a mother and I hope that I'm good at both....or at least trying to get better as I go. But the age-old question, "what if", follows me around. What if I decided to get my masters in Piano Accompanying. What if I could get over hurdles and not experience the pain of falling over them again and again.

Hmm...I know I'm not the only human on the face of this earth to think the "what if" questions. But those questions still plague me. My only hope is trusting in God and knowing that He still has me in the palm of His hand. Sometimes I feel like that hand slips ever so slightly and I feel like I'm teetering over the brink of some great chasm that will cover me up for all eternity....but deep down I still know that He has some great plan for me.

I guess that will do for now.
