Simply Jen

I've been told by more than one person in the past few months that I make things too complicated.  They happen to be people who I believe to be right more often than I am (well, some of the time) so one of my latest mantras has been "stop complicating this."  I've wanted to start a blog for awhile but was plagued with analysis paralysis as I could not decide what to call it.  It should be catchy and clever and meaningful and unique and stand the test of time... I decided to stop complicating this simple step and go with simply jen.

I've noticed many people start a blog because they're getting married, they're having a baby, or because they have some other significant life goal or event to share with the world.  I am not like these people. I am an ordinary person with nothing particularly exciting to share.  But perhaps this little spot in cyberspace will give me a place to be a little more than ordinary. Maybe I will be able to share an interesting thought or idea, make someone laugh, inspire someone, or learn something new. Maybe I don't need to be living an especially exciting life to have a blog.  Maybe I can just be simply Jen.
