Unexpected Encouragement

I was speaking with Scott Sands briefly last evening on Yahoo Instant Messenger. He asked me why I haven't blogged recently and I told him that I feel that I never have anything interesting to write about. His reply really got me thinking. He said to write about uninteresting things. He's absolutely right! I don't have to have something spectacular happen to me to write. And it just now occurred to me that the title of my blog is about life with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. What he said was certainly unexpected encouragement.

I plan on trying my best to write something at least once a week. Hopefully I will be able to start making blogging more a part of my life as it should be. I can't let World of Warcraft become the only thing that keeps me occupied. Just because I live in a rehab hospital doesn't mean that I don't have something worthwhile to write about. I would say that my living in an institution should give me a lot to share with those of you that read my blog.

Before I end this post, I would like to share something good that's happening this coming Saturday. It has become somewhat of a tradition for my family to have a Christmas party here at the hospital. We have been doing this for about 5 years now and it's something I always look forward to because it's one out of two times a year that I have the opportunity to see family members I don't see very often. It's always a good time. I plan on blogging about it.

Well, the clock is close to striking 10:00pm, which is the time that the nurses come to get me into bed for the night, so I must say farewell for now.

Peace,

Chris
