I'm just not sure what I'm doing

I would like to start by saying I've been sick since Mother's Day thanks to people I love breathing on me.

I wish I could quit smoking. I try over and over again and I just get so stressed out about it that I figure what the hell? It's not good to do this. But I guess I'm getting closer to quitting.

My daughter is doing tremendously well. She talked to some people in her house and one of them said they didn't even realize she had a brain injury! That's pretty damn amazing! She should be home in the next 6 months. Hopefully with a job and some college courses. She's an intelligent, strong young woman.

This blog is more like just me writing my thoughts down. I can't imagine my life without my family anymore. They are so important to me. I have a figure skating board called the Real Michelle Kwan Forum. After our family got to meet her and spend some time with her on my daughter's Make A Wish trip, I've grown to understand what an incredible young woman she is. She is my daughter's hero, so it stands to reason that we would cheer her on no matter what place she wins at any competition.

We also were lucky enough to spend some time with Sasha Cohen who is a marvelous, warm young woman. These figure skaters took time to talk to my daughter (and to us) and take pictures. It was absolutely wonderful.

I think the best thing that happened on that trip was my daughter being able to see the ocean for the first time in her life. Unlike her brothers, father and me, she'd never seen the ocean. It was a hoot. One tip: Do not try to push a wheelchair through sand. It's not a good thing and it doesn't move very well.

That's all for today.

Today is just like any other day except I have been working on this new website and my discussion board. It's been busy. The weather outside is cold with 3 inches of snow on the ground. That's at least better than the 11 inches we had a couple of weeks ago.

Everything is going smoothly for everyone in the family at this point. I pray that God watches over us all as I pray for the soldiers in Iraq, the Iraqi people, and other people that I have put on my prayer list.

Hopefully you will enjoy this as much as I am going to.
