More About Me

Welcome to my blog. I like to write about my life. I've been doing it since I was a little girl. Sometimes I wrote made-up stuff or just listed information about myself because I found comfort in feeling my hand move across the page as I wrote. Usually the ink smeared because I am left handed. Because I accumulated so many pages about myself, I thought eventually one day I would write my auto-biography. I don't know if that will ever happen but in a sense I suppose this blog is my auto-biography anyway. I am from Illinois but currently live in Oregon with my husband, son, dog, and cat. I work full-time so things get pretty busy but I still try to write. I need to write to help figure out difficult things in life and I also have much that I love and am grateful for and this blog helps me chronicle it. What makes it as comforting as the old fashioned pen and paper is having readers like you to share it with.
