Why do I want to write my story?

 Why do I want to write my story? Why do I want to share my story with others?

These were the question I was asking myself this very morning before I decided to start a blog. LOL! 

It is NOT because I feel that I am any more important than anybody else. It is very important to me that you understand this fact. I am a no body. I'm not important. I'm not beautiful, talented or brilliant. But, I am another human being on this earth. A being that has the same fears, doubts, and desires as other people. And, for some reason I want to write about them. 

Over the past few years I have become very introspective. I don't know if it is because I have more time to think or what. My kids are adults and living their own lives, and the pandemic provided a lot of time to think--probably too much time. I have looked back and questioned why I am at the place I am in life. It's not a bad place but it was not where I thought I would be. I have a sweet husband. I have two great children, a grandson, and another grandchild on the way. I am blessed beyond measure. But, there are some things that I wish that I had done differently. I let fear keep me from trying new things and going to new places. I want to change that. But, the world it weird right now. So for now what I want to do is figure out new things I want to try. Do I want to travel the world? Do I want to try new foods? Should I take up a hobby or write a novel? Do I really like asparagus? LOL! I know that is a strange question, but because of my upbringing there are a lot of things I do because that was what was expected of me. That leads me to another thing... I plan on digging up some old memories and they are not all happy. For the past fifty years denial was my happy place. I'm trying to find me. Not the person who does something or likes something because it's just easier. 

But, it is all a part of my story.

I think that is enough for today. I'm going to turn off my brain for a bit and be a vegetable. :)

This is my story; write your own.
