slogging the blog

I am spending some time this morning reading old posts by 2amsomewhere, finding much of it meaningful in my current situation. In the following link:

I found a quote by Julia Grey which resonates strongly in my soul.

"The heroic you is defined from within,by examining your owreality,not
by comparison to other people.

So you don't say to yourself,"I'm okay because other people are worse."
But you also don't say,"I'm terrible because other people are so much
better."

beginnings

Where to begin? I am not a blogger - this is my first attempt.

I am in a phase of many transitions in my life, and all of my thoughts and feelings need to go somewhere. I will attempt to post them in some manner that makes sense, but I make no guarantees.

The catalysts for all this change in my life are twofold:

1) I have been on disability for over a year now, and am getting no closer to regaining my life.

2) My marriage is broken, and I am trying to determine if it is fixable, or even worth fixing.

My inspiration for choosing a blog as my outlet is 2amsomewhere. After reading the postings he wrote while going through the demise of his marriage, the personal growth he acchieved along the way is evident. I only hope that some day I'll read back over my postings and see the same type of growth.

So, whether anyone reads my ramblings or not, I am here, I am endeavoring to evolve, and I am lambent.
