Blagging the blog

As I tend to ramble on in both writing and verbal communication I'm going to make a valiant (probably fruitless) attempt at brevity in my blogs.

Although Cu has written a wee bit at the beginning of this blog, I felt the need for me to write a wee personal story of why I got here. The how will follow.

To have a dream is glorious, to rebel against complacency is couragous but to maintain grace, humour, and sanity regardless of society is truly enviable. I got envious of those people who live simply, expect little, who value love and respect above everything. After a time of combined trauma's, in my employment, my health and my family I had an epiphany. I had just faced the worst things that could happen in anyones life simultaneously and I was still breathing. My functioning had changed, but I had nothing left to be scared of.
What was the worst that could happen, because I had virtually nothing left to loose. The friends I have left are true enough to be keepers, I have 2 glorious young adult children (plus one daughters beloved) and I have Cu. Oh! and one dog (Cu's inspiration, Ming) and two cats (Fang, the gay ginger, and Flea, the well-worn fighter).
