Why does one begin to write? Because she feels misunderstood, I guess. Because it never comes out clearly enough when she tries to speak. Because she wants to rephrase the world, to take it in and give it back again differently, so that everything is used and nothing is lost. Because it’s something to do to pass the time until she is old enough to experience the things she writes about.” – Nicole Krauss

Over the last year or so sitting alone @ home or in drs offices with mom I’m forever thankful to have her along with me or family members that drove me to Pittsburgh because I hate to drive there or to a visit locally because I couldn’t.   Forever grateful to  my son for letting me nap with my head on a pillow in his lap almost daily from the tiredness caused by the cancer treatment/ radiation. Thankful for a husband that truly has to be here thru thick and thin; sickness & health.  That means working a job with different skills than he has in the past and with that often a lot of hours.  For the few old friends & new that have really checked on me weekly, daily thru Facebook or thru text as I’m not a phone call person even when their struggles were much worse.  I am just as thankful for the skilled Drs and nurses I have had or will continue to treat with.

I have been asked the above question and looking through a task request decided it was perfect!  It is as if my rough writing and editing was meant to find such a perfect quote this morning.  I really do want to keep my brain thinking so I’m trying out writing towards tasks beginning today and hopefully into the months ahead.

P.s. thanks for realizing I will try to remind myself no one wants to be awaken to my blog post in the middle of the night lol I don’t sleep all that well.  Dang the schedule function or even using drafts is amazing

P.s.s I have always loved writing I just do it differently now 😀 I will try to not to be so random but I can ensure you most days that may happen.
