OK. I am starting a blog. Why? Is my life just so exciting that people have been begging me to share it with them? No. Do I want the world reading all of my deep dark feelings? No. Do I just want some attention? Hmm...maybe. I never thought of that. ;)
Here is the real story though. Last week I went to a fabulous retreat of sorts called ArtFest. Or is that Art Fest? Anyway, I decided to keep a journal of my time away. I found that writing before bed made me feel better. It was nice to get all of my worries out on paper. I didn't dwell on them so much while I tried to fall asleep when they were captured in that little book. It really did help me.
So why blog then? I am planning on keeping my journal to help me get my troubles out of my head. To help me move on in life. To help me live my life more fully. I need to get out of my head. All this thinking is holding me back. I should say that it is all the worry that is holding me back.
I do not plan to journal on my blog. I do plan to share some things that may help others. I am a caregiver for my mom who has Alzheimer's Disease. It is very draining. I know that others are having the same experiences as I am. I would like to share what I go through so others know they are not all alone. I really believe that Misery Loves Company! I'm joking. Kind of.
I also want a place to share my photography and other art work. And I need a place to tell my freaky kid stories.
So, that's it. The excitement of Lisa's life right here for you to enjoy. So enjoy the fact that you are not me. And I will try to enjoy the fact that I am.
