Well, good morning to all! I have accomplished sleeping until almost 7 a.m. as of this  morning! What’s the big ‘to-do’ about? Well, two months back and for a good number of years prior to this I was not able to sleep, especially in the REM cycle. It put a lot of fear into me. Affecting my alertness, the heavy fatigue, my memory was affected a lot. I was in a great deal of fear for at my age is when many women are diagnosed with the onset of Alzheimer’s. Mama suffered Alzheimer’s very severely along with an irreparable broken hip that put her on a downward spiral of health and stole the quality of life that she did have, it was an abrupt turn in her life, an unfair one. More on Mama later.

This is my first attempt on my blog here, I had began a blog and did verily well at it, considering I have no experience. I wrote want I wanted and needed to write and wow! I had followers, then life changed for over a year and I lost touch. I attempted to begin that blog again but I had become so disconnected from it during this last year that I decided to give up on it. The train of thinking had just vanished, I hope and pray that doesn’t happen with my new blog, this one.

I plan on writing the things that are in my head, which is a diverse array of topics, personal and not so personal, but definitely opinionated. Opinionated to the point of having a great conversation over a nice hot cup of tea while sitting around the kitchen or dining table before the biggest part of the day begins. Since my daughter isn’t the visiting /kind, as I was with my mama I will use this blog for many things. First, to set the tone of my day that lies ahead, another would be to sound off when I stress and ‘need’ to vent, and times when I’m simply opinionated and need to share. Opinionated or not, I always have an open mind, am willing to learn and change if it’s the thing to do.

Funny, I was on a roll the other day and while I was in the throws of verbalizing my thoughts, my husband smiled and said to me, ” Why don’t you write these things down.”? My reply was that I can’t type fast enough. Which isn’t all untrue. I have bipolar and my thoughts at times are so fast and racing that I actually cannot even speak in a calm and rational sounding way so that I can be understood. I’m hoping that blogging may help slow down my thought process as well.

As you can see, even though I lack experience in blogging, my desire to do this in hopes of good changes in my life may come about in time. I know if it helps keep me from speaking to my husband so incessantly, he will be pleased as well. I am a person with a lot on my mind and good information to share, I just need a venue to do so and this blogging is a way I can get some thoughts out of my head. In the same way that making a list of things keeps me from worrying about them, instead of floating around in my head, I make a list, now it’s on paper and I have no need to keep it in my head, where it’s useless unless you like undue stress in huge amounts that are not meant for human consumption!

Open the eyes of my heart Lord, open the eyes of my heart, I want to see you, I want to see you! See you high and lifted up…

I welcome anyone who reads this, if anyone does, to comment or share or if anyone has anything to say I welcome you to leave a comment for me. I would love to hear from you. At this time I will end my first post, I have so much to share and about a multitude of topics that I want to be led by the Spirit to delve into on digital paper. Have an awesome day! Maybe the sun will shine, always a blessing.
