My First Journal Entry - February 20, 2009

I am brand new to this Daily Strength Forum.  I think it's a cool site and has a wide variety of groups one can join.  I am going to write about things that happen in my life to share with you, hopefully be helpful and informational to you and give you an insight into my life.  Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's happy and sometimes it's sad.  But I do hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.  I do like to write.  I wrote a children's book once and half of another one but gave up because I really didn't know how to get them published. Being anonymous here is a plus because it helps me to be as frank and honest as I can.    I imagine I'll be mostly writing about my Overactive Bladder problem because it is very much a part of my life.  Afterall, everyone goes to the bathroom every day - several times a day.  Sometimes I don't make it all the way and have accidents (not every day).  Occasionally I will wet my bed.  It's very discouraging sometimes.  I've had this problem probably all of my life and has gotten worse in the last few years.   I am female, have been married for 32 years.  I have 3 super kids.  My oldest is 30 (my daughter), my middle is 28 (my son) and my youngest is 24 (my son).  The oldest and middle live in my hometown but my youngest lives in another state very far away.  My daughter was married for a very short time to a "you know what " kind of person.  She has a beautiful little boy (my grandson) who is 6 years old.  She is living with her boyfriend who has a little girl 4 years old (my granddaughter).  She has a lot of medical problems including a brain tumor.  What a sweetie she is!  My family means the world to me and I just cannot tell you the love I have for all of them!   I'm not sure how these Boards/Forums work as far as how much to write, what to write, when to write or who reads them.  I will just write when I have something to say which may be daily.  I hope you enjoy my journals and I'm hoping I can be of help to you, too.  If you would like to contact me that would be fine, or Chatting is OK, too.  That's it for now.  Till later .....
