Just the beginning...

I have decided to start a blog as some form of escape from life's daily demands. Ta da! You just happen to be reading my very first entry! If you can't tell, it's entitled

"Soap Box Ramblings."

Why? Well...years ago soap used to be delivered to stores in sturdy wooden crates (soap boxes). These wooden crates were often reused for Soap Box Derbies, where children attached wheels to the bottom and raced them as cars. They were also used as a makeshift platform for public speakers to stand on so they could be heard above the crowds.

Why add the word "ramblings" to the title? One of many definitions of the word rambling means to stray from one subject to another, which is exactly what I plan to do. It seems that a lot of blogs out there carry themes such as: cooking, pets, nature, music, etc. My blog has no theme. I'm a girl with a lot on her mind and this is just one way I'm choosing to express myself. Welcome to my modern day soap box!
