Life With Patti

Here we go!

I think I need this blog more than anyone else does. I have attempted journaling a few times over the past years, but I never seem to find value in writing to myself.

Sunday, on Father's day I created a space that allows me to voice my thoughts and ideas about a subject I seem to know a fair amount about. This has spurned me onto creating this space.

In this space I can discuss what is happening to me. I can put my goals down and have a place where I can measure them. I once had a friend who blogged her weight loss journey. Reading it was helpful in understanding how she came to view herself and to see how completely normal I was. We all have issues and we are all striving to be better than we are (for the most part). Whether this is by trying to eat better, exercise more or to control behaviors that put ourselves in awkward situations (me, I talk more when I get nervous and I'm pretty sure I should not mix men and tequila).

So here you are reading and asking yourself..."so what are her goals". Well they are fairly simple.

  1. Have more fun with my family.
  2. Treat the body walk I around in a bit better than I have.
  3. Write my freaking book gawd damn it!
  4. Get my nursing degree
  5. Teach nursing at the local college.
This is the place I will come to measure the progress I'm making on these goals. Feel free to ask questions and make comments.
