As The Page Turns

Writing a blog can be tricky. For some, the purpose is to advertise their writing skills and for others blogging is a way to keep family and friends informed about their lives, and then there is me. When I began my blog it was originally a way for me to work through my journey with my Mom's death and the aftermath. Now, I find myself using this forum as a form of therapy and sometimes as a platform for my opinions about life.

 My expectation is that each day offers something to someone. I do not fancy myself a prize winning journalist or even an especially good writer. I just plunk out a few words every day; for me it is sort of like cleansing my palate. I write out my thoughts and feelings and then hopefully, move on. Part of me hopes that one day this blog will be a way for my girls to know me better and possibly understand me a little.

 Writing daily as I do leaves me a little thought weary some days. This year is different from last year thankfully. Last year I was dealing with daily issues about my Mom and my Dad and all of the issues with my Aunt. Now things have settled down and life is just loping along. I like that nothing especially dramatic has me twisted into a knot. It has helped me pause and think about what my next adventure might be. It is definitely time for me to start looking at my Dream board again. If nothing else I need to at least take the time to get some fresh ideas.

 All I know is that as the page turns, so does my life. Each day is another step closer to an understanding of whom I am and where I will go from here. This for me will be a mostly unplanned adventure I suspect. I will be a willing participant in the adventure of my life time and this pond will some days be more shallow then others. I hope that as the page turns, you will find something that touches you or your life as well.
