The First Post Is Always The Hardest

It seems the first post is always the hardest.  I setup this blog months ago and decided today that I would start this blog rolling officially.  Today is my sister's 37th wedding anniversary and my 50th birthday.

Sue was the one who came up with this ideal about sharing a blog site.  I can't remember exactly when she decided this.  I believe it was sometime around January.  I'd spent Christmas with Sue's family.  She lives in Minnesota and I live in California.  We hadn't seen each other in years.  We are the two youngest of six children.  Our parents are no longer with us.  My mother was sort of the glue that kept our family in touch.  Although, it hasn't been easy, Sue and I make the effort to keep in touch.  She thought this blog would help and that it would be a good way for us to keep each other in check on our vow to get healthy.

I hope this site will be more than just a check in for Sue and I on our journeys to greater health.  I want it to be a way we check in with our daily lives.  We have vastly different lives.  Sue has a family with a great husband, children and grandchildren.  I'm a woman who is starting over in the San Francisco Bay area with my two cats.  We are very different and yet I like to think very similar.

Sue is new to blogging.  I had another blog for while.  The blogging world has added great richness to my life.  I'm very excited to share this with Sue.  We will need to encourage her for blogging.  I think - once she gets started she will love blogging too.
