My First blog

So, I have been encouraged by many a friend and family to start a blog. I guess I have complained enough about have things to say and no one to listen. Now I sit here wondering what exactly my FIRST post should be...hmmm, perhaps just the experience of blogging. Strange thing, to write to the public at large. 21st century journaling. Does this mean the makers of composition books will go out of business? I have filled many of those, now hidden in the recesses of my closet.

I guess the "theme" of my blog will be as the title suggests, my journey through this life as a Widow. A label that I have struggled with and examined since the day God took my Beloved. I received the role with bittersweet trepidation. My transition into widowhood began in 2003 when my Beloved, Joe, was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. It was a time of deep despair, fear and hope.
