DAY1 – Write some basic things about yourself

Here we go…I am 35 (holy shit THIRTY FIVE!), married for 4 years, mom to a 2 and a half year old and trying to find my way in the world. I grew up in British Columbia and moved to Alberta when I was 21 (22 maybe…it’s been a while). My childhood, teen years and early adult life were good, but as I got older and life got more complicated I became depressed and developed anxiety too. For a long time I pretended like there was nothing wrong with me and then I realized that this is a legitimate illness and there is no shame in that. I am pretty open about most things and I no longer hide behind excuses…if someone asks me, I will tell them that I have an illness and like diabetics need insulin I need anti-depressants to keep healthy.

I work in retail after many years of being in the Hospitality industry and doing administrative work. So far retail has been a huge challenge for me and I want to run away from it every day, but it is my reality and I have to work, so retail it is…for now.

What else can I say about myself…hmmm…this is harder than I thought it would be.

I can be a lot of fun which makes me illness really confusing for some people. Hell, it’s confusing for me!

I used to journal a lot, but when I met my husband and he moved in with me I stopped. I’ve never been able to get back into it since then…as much as I want to. There are some days that I just want to write. I just never seem to have the time. I want to find the time. I want to write again. I always thought I would write a book one day. Who knows is may still happen?! This will be the first step in getting into the writing habit again.

For my fave’s on here…you’re probably shocked to see that I’ve actually written something. I hope that I show up on your bookmarks list on a regular basis from this point forward.
