Let's Go...

I have OCD.  I am learning everyday how to cope and manage with this "mini" problem.  I do not have the kind of OCD where I must have everything perfect and clean (just ask J!).  I tend to worry more about others and what they do, think, wish and don't do.  I worry about things I cannot complete.  It makes me feel I lose control and I must finish (again, not with house work!).  This week has been a rough week and I have been thinking and thinking.  That is what I tend to do over and over again...THINK! SO, I decided, that there just may be someone out there that might want to read a little about what I am going through and how I am handling it.  I have a couple of people in my life that give me guidance and most of the time, they are right.  I am glad that they are there to help me along the way.  Both of them use God's guidance and wisdom to help me.  I am so thankful for these two women.  I am not sure that I would have made it through this week without them.   I am sure both of them probably would tell me not to do this, but they also will tell you I am a little hard headed!

This blog isn't going to be JUST about my OCD.  It is going to also be a way for me to journal and show MYSELF my days and what decisions I make and my journey along the way.  I was reading another blog tonight of a friend of mine and her struggle to lose weight.  She is struggling and documenting her days, even though she does not feel she is accomplishing anything.  I believe she is accomplishing something by showing everyone she can do it and that it may be hard, but she is sticking to it.  She is showing her journey and maybe someone else is going through the same thing and can relate. It is always good to know that you are not alone.  I think blogging is very important, especially for those people that need to go back and "review" how they got to a certain point and what was done beyond that point.

I will blog about my family, my job, my pets, my house, my BFFs, my hometown, my current city and many more topics.  Who knows, I might even make a comment or two about Politics (don't really like to get into much of that stuff)!

So let's "Saddle Up Our Horses" {I am a big Steven Curtis Chapman fan!} and blaze this trail together!

Until Then!

  1. You go, girl! You are absolutely right: Sharing you journey CAN be a powerful thing -- for yourself and others.

    Since I started blogging about parenting an autistic child, I've been able to look back over our journey and say, "You know what? We HAVE made a lot of progress!"

    Also, I've been in touch with moms in similar parenting places in their lives, whether their kids are special needs or not, and we've been able to laugh and learn together and support one another along the way. They have truly saved my sanity.

    Good luck with your blogging path. I hope you get as much out of the process as I have :-)
