Into The New Year

It is 7 days into the new year and already a lot of changes are going on. Since I have not been writing as I intended to last year, I figure better to start out the new year with my first "real" blog.

Now where to start, I should probably give you a little background on who I am. I will eventually put up an about me tab, but until then let me introduce myself. Hi my name is Ryan and yes I am a girl with a guys name, well not so much a girl as a grown woman, lol. Believe me, I still get odd looks and the worst is the mail addressed to Mr. especially if it is senior mail. That is a double hitter, not only calling me a guy but old, as in 65+! I have a good 30 yrs before you can put me in the senior category and well I like being a woman, thank you very much. 

Okay, I have said my peace now onto more about me. You would think that most woman would like to talk about themselves well I am actually really shy, though you would never guess that in person. I am a single mother of a beautiful 12yr old daughter, who keeps me on my toes, I am sure you will be hearing about her at some point. Some of the things I love to do are being active, reading, writing, music, going to church, and well being a mom. I also suffer from chronic depression, ptsd, and anxiety, along with some physical chronic conditions, I will get more into that later on. With that said, I will say that most of the things I love to do, I have a hard time doing, which well is depressing in and of it's own. 

To help fight that battle I have started on a journey to get well, not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. I have a long road ahead of me, and I have already traveled some of it, but still I have a lot further to go,

Writing this blog is more of a personal challenge to myself, to get things out and to talk and discuss the topics I enjoy or find interesting, to help me along my journey, and maybe even help others and have a few good laughs along the way. I will probably be writing a lot on health and wellness, being a christian, parenting, and poetry. I have a lot more interests but those are my lifelong passions. My goal is to try and minimize the impact my conditions have on my life, so I can start doing and enjoying the things I love to do once more.

Well I think for an introductory blog that wasn't soo bad, as I write more I will get the hang of it! Now to tie in my opening statement, 7 days into a brand new year and a lot of changes are going on. I am dedicating time to write a blog, I have been "resigned" from work till my health returns, I have a new Ninja blender, that I am really excited about, and my daugher is going to be in her first real play, (ya know the kind you pay tickets for!) and well as sad as I am not to be working, I feel a big stress has been lifted. I really need this time to focus on my well being and I don't want to waste it at all!

So thank you for reading my first "real" blog, cheers! God Bless You and Happy New Year!
