On the note of the next to the last blog posting in the "Inquiring Minds" blog series, entitled
"Stamp Tramps" and "Hook ups", I felt that it is time to start a new blog series called, "Inquiring Minds II"! Of course, it was timely, too, in that there were exactly 300 posts in "Inquiring Minds"!!! :D
It was a huge relief to get off my chest a nearly 30 year secret. Amazing how much relief that can be. I have personally taken many measures to ensure regaining my own healthy mind through workbooks and workshops; however, never revealing to another soul my personal interest in being there. Journalling is a huge help when seemingly destined to have to regain one's own strength. As such so is blogging. :)
My secret was never revealed to this day to even my parents and siblings. To this day, my parents are puzzled by why their daughter, who graduated from on of the top high schools in San Antonio in the top third of a class of nearly 900 students, was a seemingly "failure" in college and was always partying. If they only knew back then what had really been happening, maybe things would be different; however, how could I tell them that their daughter was not quite so perfect? My parents expected the world of me and I already let them down. No point in telling them now. Maybe never. What would the point be to do that when they have so many health problems of their own???
At any rate.....
thank you, CT friends/family, for enduring me while I shared the secret with you.
This now becomes the first blog posting of the new blog series. Welcome!
