New approach

I'm back.

Its been a very crazy month filled with ups and downs. We had two big losses in our family this month and it really got me thinking. Life is not defined by where you are physically or emotionally in it. Life is happening whether you like it or not. You can take a hold and go with it, or you can loose precious time.

With that in mind, I'm taking a different approach to this blog. I'm still going to focus on Seattle, because its just that great and its a part of me. But, instead of the Seattle life being the central theme, I'm going to let it hang out in the background. It will still pop up: today for instance, I went to Costco (which is from Seattle), and bought three, yes THREE different kinds of salmon. You didn't know that was possible, did you?

I'm going to write more about my life. My thoughts, my experiences. What's going on during the week. Somedays it might be boring. Sometimes life is boring. Most of the times, however, its quirky and funny. So, instead of once a week, or God forbid, once a month, I'm going to shoot for 3 times a week. Which in nursing talk is T.I.D. Oh, you are learning so much already.

I'll start by revealing that I live in Harrisburg, PA. I've done pretty much all there is to do. I wish people would visit me more because it gives me a chance to go to Chocolate World.

I also want to mention that my guy, K, is reading this post now. I kept it a secret because I didn't know if I was going to commit or not (to the blog). But, I made up my mind, and now he is probably my first reader. I may invite friends to read, so if "Would you read a blog if I wrote one?" pops up on facebook in the next couple of days/weeks, I decided to really open up.

Sometimes I question why I'm doing this. Is it narcissistic? Do people care? Is it a form of therapy, or am I really on to something. I've decided that people have been writing their lives in some form or another. Nowadays, we have blogs. Its a more accessible form of writing your thoughts. For me, its working. And besides, this is way more productive than twittering what you ate for lunch today.
