Hi. My name is Michelle, and I'm going to give this blogging thing a try.
I'm pretty excited about it, and I've been stalling this first post in hopes of coming across some great, unique idea that will accomplish both giving me a new hobby, and being an enjoyable read for as many people as possible. Something along the lines of http://postsecret.blogspot.com/. As it turns out, I'm going to 'wing it', and take a risk, and enter this world like so many bloggers, with only my story to offer.
I follow several blogs, and the simple, honest accounts of regular people's lives can be the most compelling. We'll see where this can go.
I once read that there are two things that help people sleep easy at night, prayer and journalling. I guess the idea is getting things off your chest and mind. I realize that treating this blog like a diary comes with the risk of it being the epitome of boring, and I actually welcome the idea that I must follow rules here.
So, to conclude, Hi. I'm Michelle, and I'm going to give this blogging thing a try. I'm 27 years old with Cystic Fibrosis. I am married to my perfect man, dreaming of building a family and growing old together against odds.
Dear Michelle,
ReplyDeleteFirst, thank you for finally doing this.
Second, as someone who has had the pleasure and privilege of having many deep conversations with you, I know this blog will be thoughtful and insightful, for those are qualities I experience talking to you all the time.
Third, isn't it appropiate that you've begun with a risk: what a fine way to think about what it's like to live with CF. Risk after risk after risk. Maybe you could say something about that, I feel like you're alive to that in a way that I'm not.
Finally, I wish you luck and send you love for the beginning of this. Beginnings, risks, are hard. It takes us a long time to take them. I hope you make this into something that not only enriches others, which it will, but helps you become more alive, take more risks.
Jehangir
