First blog post

I have been told many times that I should start a blog. Starting a blog and maintaining it for one year is also among one of the things on my “Ultimate Adventure List” (AKA, bucket list). My biggest hold up in starting one was mostly having the time to do it. I realized that you just have to make the time to do something that you want to do. I also couldn’t think of the appropriate name for my blog. Then I took one of those silly Facebook quizzes in the middle of the night, and the results said I was VERY high maintenance. I thought, “Really? How can a hippie who likes to run around barefoot and naked be high maintenance??” Then I saw my collection of shoes and make up (for days when I’m forced to put on clothes and mingle with others) and realized that, yeah, I’m a little bit high maintenance. Then I thought, “Hey! Good name for a blog!” Thus, the site title. So, the blog is born. What is a high maintenance hippie site about? Well, these posts will mostly be about the daily struggles and observations a middle-aged hippie has while merely trying to make her way in this crazy world. I hope they will be amusing, thought-provoking, and entertaining. Sometimes, though, they’ll be a little melancholy and tearful because life isn’t a bed of roses, right? I hope someone other than me reads them. LOL
