back in blog-land

I started a blog awhile back.
It seemed like a good idea, at the time.
And it wasn’t even just my idea—those around me, in fact, were the first to bring it up, as I recall, so it’s on them, as far as I’m concerned.
Instigators.
Trouble-makers.

It didn’t go too well, as I’m sure you’ve surmised by this point, for while I had a few, loyal followers, it never really took off into cyberspace, and I didn’t have the time to put into it that it probably deserved, since back then I was still teaching (hundreds of students), trying to homeschool my son, and deal with a host of other issues simultaneously.

The blog had been called ‘drop the story line’, and so ironically, after a few weeks, I had to do just that.
Sad to say, but, you know…apt.

But now—but now, I’ve been cornered by my physical condition (or perhaps it’s more accurate to say ‘I cornered myself via putting myself in this physical condition’), and my body has forced me to go on disability. 
Yeah, you heard that right.  My neurologist had told me (*years* ago, now): “Sally, you either go on disability or your body will put you there!” and guess what?
I not only didn’t stop working, I didn’t even cut back.  I didn’t even keep status quo. Ah, nope.
I piled on ‘til I was basically double-timing my teaching schedule—so when I say ‘hundreds of students’, I’m not just being metaphorical, there.

So, what do you know?  Now, without my ‘consent’, with no intent, I find myself here.  But hey—plenty of time for blogging, right?

However…I can hardly start back by picking up a story line that I didn’t want to be holding in the first place (that former title, you see), so I had to choose a more fitting name for all of this.  And, since more and more I’ve come to realize how much people’s experience of life is colored by their perception of it—which is different from mine, and which, in fact, keeps changing as they experience more, learn more, etc.—I have decided this title is a good way to describe what I write about, and how I do so.
 
In here you will hopefully get a genuine glimpse of how I am perceiving the world, as time is going by.  Maybe it will resonate with you, or maybe it really won’t, but either way, there is that possibility that seeing my perspective could give you more insight into your own.


Along the way, I wish us all clarity, and a good sense of humour.
