Living with Huntington's Disease Sucks...for everyone it touches. The way each family & each member deals with it can change daily. I/We are no different...There have been many days when I would rather die than face my guilt. I am convinced that I would not still be here if it were not for the grace of God.

What Do You Think?
I have been considering doing a blog for a while now for several reasons. The main reason being that I have so many people tell me that they want to know how I am doing but don't know what to say or how to ask. I hope you all know that I don't ever mind anyone asking questions but I do understand that it makes some people uncomfortable. With a blog, no one has to ask questions if they don't want to! I have also heard that blogging is almost as good as therapy and I'm hoping for some cheap therapy! No really, my doctor thinks that is would be good to get my thoughts "out there" and possibly help someone else - or mess them up! I have had several reservations, however, about starting this blog. If I am going to be completely truthful, Huntington's Disease is very ugly and I am worried about who I might offend. I worry about who will read this and think that this is one big pity party and it isn't. I still have a lot of life left to live and that is what I want to share with you in this blog. I also worry about who will read this and think I have included too much about God and who will think I haven't included enough about Him. When I was sharing these worries with a friend of mine the other day he encouraged me to do the blog and told me that my friends wouldn't take offense to what is written in the blog because they care about me. So I guess my question is for my friends. Do you think that this blog would completely depress you or would you read it? I will start the next post off from the very beginnig.

'Nita, I think your blog is a great idea. Your thoughts and feelings are real so don't worry what anyone will think. And if it is a pity party now and then I will party with you always!!
I think it is a great idea. I totally agree with Jill!

I think that it is a great idea. I know that Troy's wife, Whitney has utilized a blog after her health issues and from what I understand it has helped her out a lot.
I have never blogged before so it has taken me all day to figure this out! However, I think it is a great idea. We care about you and want to know how you are. Look forward to seeing you soon!
If it's good for you, it's good for me.
I think the blog is a GREAT idea! Writing is great therapy and even a pity party is not a bad idea sometimes - it is very cleansing!! Let me know if you need anything. Love ya!!
I think I need this as much as you do! I love you so much - say anything and everything on the blog, you will always be the most amazing person I know.
Anita--THANK YOU for sharing yourself...I think it is awesome to put everything in writing for your kids later and for everyone else now :-) Just remember---this is YOUR blog--nobody else's opinion matters or dictates what is you :-)
