Here we go.....

So, here's the thing.  For as long as I can remember, my mom would always say, "I should have started a journal".  She did, a few times, but then always seemed to taper off from doing it.   I can only imagine what that journal would contain had she actually journaled even once a month throughout her journey in life - her and dad- raising us five girls, and all. 

I, myself, have been thinking for a while now that I need to journal, or create a blog, so... here it is. 

Whether or not anyone reads or follows (I guess they say in the blog world), you can expect - pretty much what the title says - My Journey to the Healthy and Happy Me.

The healthy and happy me that had been lost for so long.  Sadly, for a very long time, I didn't even know that she was lost.  I mean, I laughed a lot, I had close family, close friends, an amazing church family.  So, I was happy right?  Well, very often in life, we realize, things aren't always what they seem.  This was one of those times.  

Obviously, I wasn't healthy, but the realizing I wasn't happy part.  WOW!  I can't even put my finger on an exact moment when I realized it, I just know over a period of time, it became very evident - I was not a happy person. 

Sounds depressing, huh?  Yep, it was.  The good news, you ask?  Well, I decided to do something about it.  Lots of "somethings", actually.  I am still a 'work in progress', but aren't we all? 

This blog is about that work in progress.  I will be talking about everything, past and present, that has gotten me to the point that I am today.  A very happy girl, well on her way to becoming the healthiest, and happiest, she has been in a VERY long time. 

I hope you find my life as entertaining as I do, sometimes.  As for the sad parts, I have to share those too, they are all part of my journey.  I am realizing though, the fun times WAY out weigh the sad times. 

If you have read this far, and I haven't bored you to death thus far - Welcome to my world.  They seem to like me here =)
