Just realized that it has been Monday since my last post. Now I can get myself off the hook by saying the risk part of the start experiment hasn't started yet. That is what I'm going with. Time for a little bit about me.
I'm going to be turning 45 at the end of July. Not a bad age but it will be a year of change. I just know it. It will be a year of change since I will be losing my excess weight, since I will be writing every day, since I will be working in my “dream job” just as soon as I figure it out, and hubby & I hopefully will have adopted a child by this time next year.
I live in the Portland Metro Area with my husband and our 2 cats. Before moving to Oregon in 1996 I lived in New York City. I'm going to skip ahead quite a bit to 2008 the year my life changed.
August 21, 2008 I had an aneurysm burst on the right side of my brain. I found out later that only 20% of people survive what I did. There are many reasons why I survived: My hubby who called 911 when he realized something was wrong; the neurosurgeon and his team who operated on me; the nurses who watched over me at the hospital and I believe that a higher power was watching out for me and made sure that all the things that I needed to survive were in place.
Almost dying taught me a lot about living. Appreciating what you have and using your talents to the best of your ability. Not taking anything for granted like telling those you love how you feel; celebrating every birthday; making sure that my life counts for something (still working on that one); not putting with people and things that aren't moving your life forward.
I've learned how to put those things into practice and have a better life because of that.
I don't have my dream job or career I keep getting sidetracked by life when I start to figure everything out. I'm hoping that start experiment can get me on the road.
