I find my talent for writing blogs lack the appeal that I desire. I've attempted in the past. Failed attempts that attract little or not attention or interest. This leaves me apprehensive about even trying my hand this time.

I know blogs are often like journals - I've never been any good at "journaling" either.

Begin Tangent:

As a young girl with crushes and secrets filling me like helium in a hot air balloon, even then my diary (or diaries) stayed stashed in a drawer. Of course, I always wanted to have a fancy diary (grown-up-like) with a modest cover and a lock. I always kept my collection of diaries in the top-middle drawer of my dresser. It was where I kept all of my secret and most treasured belongings. That tiny middle drawer was the only drawer with a lock. Sure, it may have only been protected with a skeleton key, but that was the most protection this young girl could get.

As an adult, I find I have very few secrets, and in today's atmosphere of the World Wide Web, even if I had secrets, the world would have access to them. So, I am giving in and sharing myself with anyone interested in knowing me, my difficulties, my challenges, my strengths, and my overall and progressive weaknesses.

Really, what I want are answers. Don't we all? Although, I am doubtful answers will be found through writing in this blog, maybe someone somewhere will read the struggles and accomplishments of  real-life person who has no answers and find comfort. Or, perhaps someone somewhere will have stories of their own to share. Or, maybe taking this chance to write everything out will, in some way, will lead to self-discovery. Who knows? 

The daily life is what I want to document - my daily life with a partner who has been diagnosed with Henoch-Schonlein Purpura, a daughter who just started Kindergarten, and the out-of-the-blue symptoms that have turned my existence upside-down.

My Daily Goal:
Write, Read, and Find (Oh, and complete my honey-do-list)

Note To Self: Go to the post office, pharmacy, and fold the laundry!!!!! These tasks won't complete themselves, you know....
