There was a time that those words made me cringe ... who wants to have their life described in that way ... that they have to have survived it??? But really that's the only way to describe the trials and tribulations that have come my way over the last six decades. Well, ok ... if I'm going to be honest, it hasn't all been trials and tribulations. There have been times when I have lived a perfectly normal life and thank God for that because, as my Mom used to say, she wished that God didn't have such a high opinion of me during those other times. But what those times did teach me (and those around me ... my family and friends) is something about my strength ... and I think it came as somewhat of a shock to all of us.
So, that's what this blog is about ... at least in part. I've had so many people tell me that I should write it all down, that it would make a great novel. I always said it would make a great 'bad B movie' ... but that it was too unbelievable for anyone to want to read about or to watch. However, this blog won't be limited to that ... I just think that it would be much too boring to limit my writing to those reminiscences. So, the reader will also be regaled with my musings about current matters. We'll see where it all goes and whether, in fact, there are any readers or whether I end up writing this for my own amusement and self-indulgence which will provide me great satisfaction in and of itself.
