Lesson 1: never mix up the escape with the delete button

Here I am in front of my fetus of a blog, all excited to go back to blogging (yes this is my second blog-writing attempt) writing beautiful sentences in the "blog description" box . I had just written the last word, when, wanting to delete a full stop I hit the escape button instead of the back button and it all disappeared in a second. Quite funny how that happens..you spend hours (ok, in that case maybe not hours but still..it feels like hours) writing, putting your best thoughts out there and BAM, it's gone, all gone, all that effort for nothing. And it's not that you can rewrite exactly what you had written the first time around. I mean I could have tried, and I would have probably come very close but it just would not have felt the same..it would have been like reheated food (and i'm not talking about the kind of food that actually tastes better the next day): good, good but not great.



Now I wonder..should I serve you reheated food tonight or should I just leave it at that: a short, introductory article that basically says nothing about me or what this blog is all about, or should I try, open the microwave and pop that Tupperware in? Well, even though I am in a writing mood tonight, I think I will stop here...and start anew tomorrow with a wholly new blog description.



So here it is, reader, my first article and it feels so good to be back! A demain..
