And to vent. I really need to vent sometimes. And since my wife hates hearing me go on for three hours about foreign policy or the need for salt regulation on fast food fries... well, here we are!
I've also felt a need lately to reach out to my family and let them know what is going on in my life and that I love them. I have a brother who has passed on several years ago and kept a very private life from me. When he died, I didn't know what was going on with his life or who was even in it. I still don't. I don't want my family to think of me as a stranger- but none of us have high marks in communicational skills, thus blogging to the rescue!
I also feel that I have something to say, which is what all bloggers believe, but this time it is true! I promise!
Okay, maybe I don't, but there could be someone out there who is genuinely touched by a struggle or success that I'm experiencing and can gain a little more hope in their life.
True, venting and hope don't always go together, but I'm not perfect and neither are my motives! Let's get that straight right from the start. Don't expect my blog to make logical sense at any point in time; if it does, consider yourself a fortunate soul. You should understand, though, that I am writing what I know to be true, so I'll keep the venting to a minimum. This blog is my story and, you never know, it may resonate with you.
