I have often thought of starting a blog. Do not understand my fascination behind it. I’m not a writer nor would ever claim to be. After becoming extremely ill a few years ago, I’ve acquired a new outlook and understanding about life and would love a place to share my thoughts.
So before I go into my deep though process or not so deep though process, here is a little background. I was born in a small town in Utah. Had what I would consider a much better than average childhood. Had great parents, one older brother (10 years) and a few friends and family in close proximity to wander the local communities. Married my high school sweetheart, and continued our lives in this small community. We now have two kids and are happy and healthy. That’s my life in a nutshell.
Really wonder if this blog will be use or help to anyone, myself included. I can say I feel as if I have a better than positive outlook on life. It was acquired mostly after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer two years ago. I won’t go into details about that experience at this point but let’s just say it really, really sucked!!! But what way to see and appreciate your blessings in life than to have an experience that makes you truly appreciate them?
So after all these years, why start a blog tonight? Because of a Facebook post. I saw a post tonight that read “Don’t compare chapter one of your story to someone else’s chapter 20.” My thought was why compare chapters at all? They are all completely different books. My goal since becoming sick was to only compare myself to the person I was the day before. Would love to share this on Facebook but feel as if they are to easily misconstrued on social media. I’m not going to write a book so how about a blog and here we go.
