My First Blog

So here I go. This blog is anonymous, if you will. I have another blog. My kids, kids friends, even the ex-wife are my "friend". Sometimes I want to write about stuff that is, um, none of their business.

If you read about me, then you know I am struggling right now. Who am I? What am I? What do I want to do, like interests? I don't have any close friends, really. Kids first, you know. I was so busy taking care of everybody that I lost sight of me. The world has been changing around me while I was just spinning in place. I would love to say "Oh I wouldn't change a thing!" in reality I WOULD HAVE! I would have taken at least a day a month for me. 15 minutes of quiet time a day. I regret letting myself disappear under the layers of responsibility. There is a way to balance both, I know it now. I didn't then. It's going to be okay - just going to take some time.
I am trying to learn to meditate. I read that you have to pratice, and I have been. I don't have anyone to talk to about it. To ask questions.

Do you meditate? How do you keep your "mind" healthy?
