Reasons for writing this blog

Many really -
  • To keep track of my recovery.
  • To inspire - I have been inspired by many life stories, and when you are truly inspired by something you feel you should inspire someone. I'm glad my struggles have encouraged people, and I want to use this blog to reach out to more.
  • To share - so that you know how I'm doing.
  • To have somewhere to dump my thoughts and feelings.

It's not my first time keeping a written record of my life (I've kept a diary since 7 September 1998), nor my first time writing a blog (had a 12-month training blog for the marathon - but you have to be a runner to know where I kept it!). Somehow I'm now in a very different stage of life, probably a stage that I would never return to. Somehow I want to have some way to remember it.

Actually it's a friend who encouraged me to write a book(!) about my experience in the past year - which will unfold in my blog in the future 6 weeks. Perhaps the society now needs some encouragement from someone who has endured struggles and uncertainty. Well, if I get enough interest I might get it published - wishful thinking!
