I have been keeping a journal for many years but not on a consistent basis. I've heard people talking about blogging so I figured I would check it out and see what it's all about.
I am 45 years old and I feel like I have spend alot of time and energy throughout my life on taking care of other people and even though it's a wonderful trait to help and care for others I sometimes wonder what great things I could have achieved in this world if I had spent the time and effort on myself........
After many years of therapy and soul searching I know that my life turned out pretty good considering how bad things were as a child. You see when I was 6 years old my mom entered the downward spiral of mental illness and my childhood pretty much ceased to exist. My mom struggled with her illness for the next 35 years and passed away from cancer when I was 41 years old. I like to think that after the horrible ordeal she endured in this lifetime that she is now at peace and smiling down on me and the rest of my family :)
I don't want this blog to be a pity party for me, I want it to be a place where I can express myself and maybe connect with others who have the same experiences or views of the world.
