Dear Reader, humbled and astonished
by the number of people who have taken the time to read my blog and have
returned! I surprised myself by starting
this blog not long ago, it is something I knew I should do; yet, for longer
than I would like to admit; I stuffed the slightest thought of writing about my illness and the struggle I have with it, away in the
back of my mind, unwilling to become exposed and vulnerable.
In
fear, I hid; I fought hard to remain hidden. To my shock, once I posted my first entry I
become acquainted with a fear that scared me more than the terrible things
people might say about me. Worse than hiding
would be to speak, and to reach out to whoever will listen; then have no one
care to read what I have to say, or take time to understand. I am happy to say
this thought was a lie, people do care, and more people than I ever dreamed
would care.
Deeply,
honored, that you are here with me dear, Reader. In light of so many people
from all over the world finding their way here and joining this Journey Up with
me. I am delighted to say that I am ecstatic about this blog! My anxiety is
still through the roof and this is not easy for me; however, I am committed to
the cause and look forward to walking along this path hand and hand with you.
Having no
idea how to start or set up a blog, I did it anyway! Now that I have so many people’s
attention, I am egger to improve my blog and turn it into something
pleasant and interactive for you. This blog is for you, just as it is for me!
I
encourage you with all the zeal of my heart; for you to comment, ask questions, to
voice your thoughts; I gladly accept advice for this blog, how I can improve it for you? I am here for you in everyway I can. I would love to hear your stories and experiences and
truly begin this Journey UP together.
Thank you dear Reader, looking forward to hearing from you,
With love, Hope
Your writing makes it easy to read and understand more of what the illness is and does. I was going to write it makes it enjoyable to read, but it's not enjoyable to read about the suffering of a dear friend. It is enjoyable to read about the achievements and how you are progressing even through the valleys please continue to post when you can. Continue your journey we are here.
