3 weeks from today, and I'll be 61! Gosh that sounds so old, and yes, the body definitely is the worse the wear for those years. As are the brain cells, courtesy of side effects of the meds I now take for high blood pressure and cholesterol. On the positive side though, I woke up this morning, I'm breathing, and for that I'm extremely happy!
My life has been full of experiences, good and bad, but were I to die tomorrow, I have LIVED a very full life. I have done things some people can only dream of. I've made some huge screw-ups in my life, and recovered from them. I've been blessed with family and friends that I love dearly, with enough memories to fill a book (or two) and am thankful for all my blessings.
So, this blog will help you get to know me. I'll talk about my childhood, my hopes and dreams, realities along the way, things that make me mad, things that make me sad, topics that interest me, and share some of my poetry from over the years along with my favourite poets and pieces of their work, that I admire.
What makes me smile is that as I think of my life, I sound like such an interesting person, yet I always thought of myself as ordinary and slightly crazy.
Some of you may be shocked along the way, of things I've endured and survived, but I DID survive. I often look back at some, and think it doesn't seem real now. It's like watching somebody else's life, but it's not. It's all mine!
