Why this ? Why now?

I love to journal and have thought often about writing a book! Then it hit me...I can blog! Whoo hoo!! so here I am. My story is the same as most...except so different then some!
My life has many curves and yet my direction is still straight ahead.
As a little girl I knew what I would be when i grew up! I would be Lucy On Dallas. (am I aging myself??) I wanted to marry young, have lots of babies and live happily ever after! Well, i did 2 out of the 3! My story did not have the typical 'happily ever after'. Does anyones?? I am not sure! BUT, my happily ever after is still out there! Just not in the form I expected!
So this blog will be my journey! As a single women. And as a single mom!
It will be a journey of forgiving the past while never forgetting the lessons. A journey of embracing the future with open but more realistic arms!
I never thought I would walk this path, but here I am! and there is no better way to remember where I have come from and where I am going....then to write it down!
