I am many moons behind on this concept of blogging.  In fact, I don't even particularly care for the idea of it.  It seems self-righteous, self-absorbed and a very good example of the term my friend Sarah coined -- mehavior (behavior that is all about "me").  I am not even sure I want the entire world reading  about my fears, my challenges, my successes or any other emotion I have on this physical and emotional journey that I am embarking on.  Having said all of that though, I have given in to my misgivings and started this blog to record my journey.  To be honest, I expect encouragement and positive energy from anyone who reads this.  I won't always have positive things to say myself and sometimes I will feel beaten down and sorry for myself.  For the readers, you will have to deal with it.
