Another Day

I originally started this blog as a way to keep in touch with those I was leaving behind when we moved to Mansfield. Well, we can see how well that idea worked. My last entry was well over a year ago and so much in my life has changed to the point that I now feel it is necessary for me to get this thing up and running again. Not so much, this time, as a means to keep friends and family posted on the daily happenings at the Macdonald household, but as an avenue for me to live. I feel as though I have lost my voice in the midst of life's circumstances and it is now time for me to get it back...somehow.
It has been suggested to me, over and over, to write. "Tell your story", some have said. I have felt for a long time that my story isn't worth reading. Not that I look down on myself or think I'm less of a person than anyone else, but because I feel that no one wants to know that sometimes the most momentous part of my day was being able to take a shower without passing out. No one wants to walk through the fire with you, they just want to rejoice in knowing you survived the journey. A good friend of mine said to me a while back, "a true writer starts writing for themselves".
So here I am. Writing. Not for you...the reader(if those actually exist), but for me.
