new years resolution

my new years resolution for 2011 i told myself i would read a book this year
i have always had a difficult time with books, I lose interest quickly, start many different books at once, and my eyes start to cross staring at the small print and rarely have time to sit still long enough to finish anything>  recently i have found many websites that you can download entire books online for free for some reason its extremley easier for me to read on the lap top computer.
  I just finished my second book tonite.  They were both short stories, the first being 50 pages about daily quotes for woman and the second only 14 pages.  but its a start.
http://www.bookrix.com/  is one website for free books  I just read:
Timmi Milsom
THE WET WET RAIN
im on a roll.....

...trying to burn 500 cal every time i exercise

my diet has been awful though

where do i begin?


day one of my blog.  I have thought about using a blog in the past, never knew how or where to start and then today my mother was my inspiration.  She is traveling and using a blog so we can follow her in her journey, while I am here, I also want to track my own journey.
Writing has ALWAYS been my favorite form of communication. writing heals me.  I have to let it out.
I have titled my blog Life as I "didnt" know it, because through out my writing's I will use this as a place to watch my own self discovery and use this as a tool for how I pull myself through the ups and downs of life. In the past few years, I have learned that (day to day) life will never be as you once knew it. changing, growing, evolving is in constant motion.
My father always said I should write, what he may or may not know is that since his passing, writing has been a way for me to heal.
 Some people can draw, paint, sew, be mechanically inclined, or play professional sports, i like to put my thoughts on paper.
Here I will track my day to day activities, health/nutrition, fitness, travels, experiences and general thoughts on life, in hopes to gain a greater perspective on me and my life and to share this life through writing with other people
