My first blog post.  Well, this is it.

Now what? I guess I could just ramble – that’s how I talk anyway.  I feel like  my life and my language is one long run on sentence.  I have a lot to say about nothing and nothing to say about a lot.

I’m educated, married with grown children. One a (literally) starving actress in NY and one living in a group home in San Francisco. I think the one living in SF is the happiest and I have all of you to thank for that!  She is a prime example of our tax dollars at work and I will forever be grateful for the kindness of strangers. I’m also married. It’s not a bad marriage.  We’ve had our ups and downs but we’ve persevered together through think and thin. I don’t think I have the romantic marriage where couples are constantly calling each other and whispering sweet nothings.  Nor do we do couple things all the time because we can’t stand being a part.  The cold hard fact I’ve learned in  my  50+ years is that love is not all flowery and full of flowers.

We’ve been together for almost 30 years now and I can’t imagine myself with anyone else. It’s been quite a journey together from our first date with a guy who wore a bow tie (and we all know there’s a ‘type’ of guy who wears those) to the grey haired man who is at his best when I need to be taken care of because of the flu or knee surgery. My man of action who thinks feelings go with out saying vs. my way of having to talk about my feelings. We’ve learned to compromise and it hasn’t been easy, but I can now walk and sit with him in silence just enjoying his company. Can’t say my ADHD ever accommodated that, but I’ve learned that it’s not so bad.

So, for my first blog I’ve revealed the tip of the iceberg that is my life. Like so many of you, we can’t say who we are in just three-five paragraphs.  But it’s a start and it’s my start. Will anyone read this – I don’t know.  I’ve always wanted to write one. I’ll think of this of something  like a dreamcatcher, but this is my word catcher of what I want to say. More than anything, this little writing escapade is for me just to see if I can write one. So wish me luck !

So, I’ll end with one of my favorite quotes – comes from an animated movie called, “A Bugs Life”

“It’s my lot in life – it’s not a lot, but it’s my life”
