Back to the Blog

 I have not blogged in years. A little over four years in fact. Life gets busy. Computers die and you just don't replace them. Ipads are nice but just don't work quite the same. Iphones are amazing, but tiny screens and aging eyes. Well, You get the picture. Thanks to some birthday money I have purchased myself a Chromebook. Brand new. Just for me. Not a hand me down from the kids. (though don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with hand me down electronics from your adult kids!) But there is something nice about a new toy just for you. Just because. And honestly, this is the easiest set up I have ever had. Like you turn it on, connect it to your google and boom! Ready to use. 

As much as i love my iphone with its touch screen keyboard, there is something nice about feeling and hearing the click of the keys under your fingertips. Something tactile and comfortable, familiar. From days gone by, Something that takes you back to before everything was touch screens or voice to text. Where you felt effort of your words as your typed them out. Kind of like taking pencil or pen to paper and writing out your thoughts, but with no need to find an eraser. :-) That ages me I am sure. For if my wrist and thumb were not so weak i actually enjoy the act of physical writing, but a keyboard does the job and of course saving and correcting is much easier. 

I don't know where this blog will go, or what subjects will come across it. I have some ideas, but many are personal and not sure I am ready to share them with the world. I admire those who are able to share all their struggles, fears and trials with the world in an effort not only to find their own healing but to help others as they journey through similar things. I'm not there yet. But there are things i hope to share that might help someone else, or at least let them know they are not alone. 

I am also looking forward to reading over my past posts, to see who i was back them. To see if i still agree with what i wrote, or have I changed. I feel sure I have. The past four years have brought some intense battles with health, both physical and mental, and not just my own. And our state, our nation, our world are going through some historic and unprecedented times, I am growing to dislike those terms. Many days I long for normal, boring, everyday life. But, we are where we are, and wishing it away doesn't change a thing. So, we press on and see what we can learn in the process.

I guess that is enough for now. Goodnight friends, or whoever may be reading this. Until next time.
