BLOGGER BARBIE

I've done it...I've started a Blog.  I'm a Blogger.  I Blog. I am Blogger Barbie!

Truth be told, I've always been a Blogger...In my head...I've just seldom put it down on paper for others to see.  Keep the crazy tucked away.  My family knows and some of my closest friends know...about the crazy...the random thoughts that circle around in my head...and they love me in spite of it, or because of it...not sure which. But now I'm a Blogger...for real. I've got a Blog. So the crazy is out there for all to see.  I don't know for how long. How long I'll be a Blogger, that is.  I guess it just depends on how much I have to say.  I'm not going to force it.  I make no promises of a daily post.  In fact, I make no promises at all.  I'm writing for me.  I am writing for me because I have discovered that writing makes me feel.  Happy. Alive. Energized.  It is exercise for my mind and my soul.  Because I am writing for me, I don't have to be overly concerned with sentence structure or spelling errors or typos. Less stress.  Less pressure. And so, I am writing for me. I am writing for me, but I am also writing to you.  I don't care if there are 2 of you or 2 thousand of you.  That's not the point.  I will write to you anyway and that you might read what I have written is a sweet bonus.  The icing on the cake. (Although I don't eat cake, let alone icing anymore...at least not until I'm 90.  When I'm 90, I might. I might eat cake when I'm 90.  I'll let you know.) So I will write, and you might read and if you do, we will share our crazy, and maybe we will both gain from our experience together.  I know I will.

If you've stumbled across my blog and are wondering to yourself "self, what is this blog about?", it is really just a journal about living life.  Living life one Salad at a time.  I have MS and I am a Wahls Warrior (look it up if you must, and you will understand) so, much of what I write will be centered around that. Around food and exercise and laughter in the face of adversity. Around embracing the changes that we are confronted with. And around the ability to go toe to toe with the monster, look it squarely in the eyes and say "screw you". 

Cheers!
