Introduction

Today, I decided to begin a blog relating to my life. The story for me is one that I feel will help in my continuing path to recovery. Dealing with the past has been a tough obstacle to overcome in order to find the happiness that I have today. I've never been to counseling throughout any of this, but I do not look down upon people who seek that path. Circumstances just prevented me from experiencing it at times when I believe I would have benefited from it.

My purpose for writing this blog is not only for myself, but also to hopefully help others who are going through similar situations or who have been through similar situations. If I had known what I know now when I was a teenager, I wonder how differently things would have turned out for me. It would be nice to help someone prevent making the same mistakes that I did.

Please feel free to leave comments. Feedback would be great. :-)

Ok...off for today. I must think of where in the world to begin my story for the next post! I intend to be laid back in the telling of my story. Hope that suits you and brings a giggle here and there.
