The first post...

Well here I go. I really never thought that I would write on a blog--or be one that journaled in any way. For starters let me say that I am not a writer. So you need to start off by forgiving my grammar, spelling, or other errors that I might not catch... You may ask why would you want to start a blog if you don't feel like a writer. Well this is a very good question. I guess my answer is that I have been truly inspired by all of my friends and all of their blogs. I love looking at your daily stories, pictures, and questions. I look forward to them each day. Secondly, I have found so much useful information on the various blogs written by other moms that have diabetic children. I have found a connection and much healing through their words--both encouraging and hard.

I am not sure what my daily journaling will look like. I most likely will write quite a bit about Brendan and his journey with Diabetes and our journey with him. I think that I will also write about my other children, Jenny and Ryan, and all the fun things that we do--or the fun things that they say. Occasionally, I might mention my sweet husband Paul and talk about the fun things he is doing, building, playing, etc... I also expect to write about my gardening, scrapbooking, and time that I spend with those I love, my friends and my family.

So please feel no need to read this blog if it does not suit what you are looking for. The main purpose of this blog is for me, journaling for myself and for my own healing and well being.

Peace.
