Paradoxical

Writing a blog has got me questioning my idiosyncrasy's. Things that interest me I embrace right away. Things that don't, I usually shun.When I was a student,I dreaded English class. Just the thought of spelling, punctuation and grammar was enough to give me a headache.So naturally I really struggled . Needless to say the grades I got in my English classes were not anything to boast about! So the fact the I cannot start the day with out doing USA Today's daily crossword puzzle. Or that I am a compulsive reader seems odd. The fact that I am actually pretty good at solving crosswords. And that all the books I have read over the years, would fill a decent sized library, seems odder still.
So I agreed to write a blog, for a couple of reasons. One being a chance to relate to my children some of my experience's in life. The other being,they seem to delight in my inane out look on life in general.
Writing a blog is harder than it looks. The sentence structure and punctuation, still escapes me. Some authors composition just seems to flow. While with others, it seems to grind. after I reread what I have written, my reaction is wow! I hope I am not embarrassing myself here. Thankfully the computer will do a spell check for you.
But even then misspelled words slip by. because they were used out of context.
So in my next blog,I am going to go back to my Ryal side days. I will do this, with no fear of making grammatical or punctuation mistakes. Because I have made you aware,that I slept through most of my English classes. And do not pretend to be any great shakes as a writer.
