I am starting the blog to teach myself about myself.  I love reading other people's blogs, learning things about them, from them and have admired the discipline it takes to keep up a blog.  I also admire people who have good writing skills, something with which I struggle.  My husband used to edit my Christmas letter.  So I stopped sending them.

So why now?  I am turning 60, have started a new job, am working from home for a time limited period and I need to lose weight.  So it's hard to think how to label this blog.  The weight loss by itself is no different than others who struggle with losing weight, but this is about my struggle.  I hope that using this new idea will move me successfully into my new decade.
