That brings me to this inaugural blog...I have shared stories from my life to people but I've never recorded anything in type, not that my life stories are as dramatic and meaningful as a Holocaust Survivor but who knows, in another 50 years someone may find it interesting and maybe helpful. So, that is my goal and we will see how this goes...

Who Cares?
You know, I've read several blogs and have read what people have to say. Some are very interesting and others...meh.. I've also thought, wow, how self-centered do you have to be to post a blog. But, I have recently had a change of heart when an elderly women came into the physical therapy clinic where I work and briefly shared with one of my coworkers about her life. It seems that this sweet and soft spoken Polish women is a Holocaust survivor. Her dad was in the Polish Resistance and died when she was a young girl. He was killed at Auschwitz. Ummm, WOW! She didn't have time to tell her more about her life except to add that her husband died a couple of years after they were married leaving her with two young children. I wanted to know more. I thought, I wish she had a blog to let people know about her life, her struggles, victories, happiness, pain, etc... I hope to engage with her soon to hear more firsthand. We'll see.
