Here's the story

Okay, so I was lying awake last evening while random thoughts were going through my head. I was thinking of the things that I had to accomplish the next day, the HBO special on Alzheimer's I watched before going to bed, and of course that one song that I couldn't get out of my head since the car ride home from work. It occurred to me that there is so much more to my life than my work - right? That's what this blog is about. It's the other side of me. Many people who know me see me in my office or at Town Board meetings. And if you found this blog you most likely have read my work blog. But, there are two sides to every story. This blog will focus on my personal life and experiences as a person. I had a conversation with a great friend the other day and she reminded me of something that I thought was interesting. She reminded me that talking about life experiences is extremely healthy. It's true. Imagine keeping everything all bottled up inside? I wouldn't want to be around anyone who did when they decide to burst. This is a place to express my emotions, opinions, feelings and advice. This is not my place to rant so don't misunderstand me (although there may be one day that I really want to) . I'll share stories of my travels, family and friends, my thoughts on news and events and even pose some of life's puzzling questions as they are presented to me. It's a place to share and grow together as individuals. Who knows, maybe we can learn from each other from this. So, join me, my family and my friends as we grow as individuals.

Until next time.
