Welcome to my blog. I am very excited that I actually set this up by myself. I don't even know how to tape a T.V. show onto a video or DVD. I rely on everyone else in my house to do it. Call it laziness, resistance; but I do consider myself slow in the field of technology. I've thought about the idea of blogging for a while, but was intimidated by the "techy" part of it. After my Wednesday night writing class where three bloggers spoke about their blogs and presented the simple mechanics of setting it up, I was motivated to go for it. So here I am writing my first post (I figure I should write something on the day I set it up so it's not a blank page) after my 20 year old daughter gave me a hug of pride. She knows well my screams of frustration as I went from typing on Word to basic E-mailing to learning how to navigate the internet. We'll see how often I "computer tantrum" as I hopefully evolve into a blogger.

So what will be the content areas of this blog?

• My middle daughter's year long hospitalization
• Keeping oneself strong through a crisis
• Coping with adverstiy
• Miracles
• Turning Why's into How's
• Living your best life
