What Have I Taken On?

I have often thought about starting a blog, after reading other people's blogs on the internet. I have mostly read about people with illnesses, mostly terminal, because they had something important to share with the world. Their perspective on life.. and death. And their experiences with the illness and treatments they received. I suppose I am a curious person, one who feels the need to know what it is like to go through that... something I hope to never have to go through myself.

But why am I actually doing this now? I was inspired to. One of my good friends from childhood in Brampton led me to her blog just yesterday, and after reading hers, I felt like maybe I do have something worthwhile to say. You see, I never felt like I had anything to offer the world. Least of all my thoughts and feelings. I never had a strong sense of self. Never had any idea of what I wanted to do when I grew up. I still don't and now I am retired. But I realized I do not have to "save the world". I can just exist in it and share a small part of myself with those I love and that is good enough.

So this is a blog of my thoughts, feelings, dreams and most importantly... my life!

Thank you Catharine :-)
