The rollercoaster called life.
Hello everyone.I never know what to write so how about a blog about my wild ride through life which has been anything but kind. I was born on the island, where we didnt stay long. See my dad who IS and ALWAYS will be my closest friend and hero, was a truck driver. So we moved lots.
Well i was born in Nanimo, on Vancouver island (for those who don't know Canada). April 3rd 1977 it was my grandmother (Dorothy) and my grandfather (Ken's) 26th wedding anniversary I believe and Easter Sunday. Guess you could say it was a day to remember for my family. I of course was an extremly adventurous child. My mom use to say that you couldnt tie me up as I was as good as houdini in escaping..lol It drove her mad.
My first great escape was when i gained my freedom at 1 yrs old from my playpen accompanied by a harness in a fenced patio in a fenced yard. Mom said she was only gone a minute but by the time she got back i was GONE!!! While frantically trying to locate me, on our small piece of property on the outskirts of town, i was hiking on down the road.
As mom starts inside to call the police and report me missing, who pulls into the drive but the mailman bringing his daily mail and a package he dicovered along the way, YES it was a dirty little blond girl with nothing on but a diaper and my bottle in tow.
That was the day my mother knew I was always gonna have itchy feet and live the life of a gypsy.. So begins the wild ride i call life..
No matter what we have our good days and we have our bad days, but no matter how bad it get there is always someone with less so be thankful the second you open up your eyes because life is a precious gift and if it was easy, well how boring would that be...
Love Life, Live Hard and live free... thanks for reading.
Hope youll check out next time with more of my rollercoaster life

Hi Mystiques, you are one bold girl. It remindes me a a child I loved to sit in puddles of water. Irv.
Well when you want to accomplish something only you can get it done. I just was lucky and new I wanted more as soon as I could go... thank you for the comment.
An interesting reading, ma'am :) You know how to write well. I enjoyed it.
To make it even better, I recommend you to shorten the first paragraph. Even though it's not welded, it is still recommended in blogging world that you use short paragraphs (not over 4 lines).
That way you make it easier for your reader to swallow your text.
Just my two cents. I enjoyed your post ;)
Thank you very much for the advice. I really have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to writing and it takes me forever to gain the courage to post, lol, I really appreciate the kind and encouraging words.. I will remeber, or try to, keep it short and sweet.. again thank you.
Be very incouraged, ma'am. You have a hidden talent :)
Practical help: Edit your post above and split the huge block of text into bite-size pieces :)
Again thank you for the advice I greatly appreciate I actually agree it's way better now. Cheers!
Wow! Awesome. I like it too.
And just to give you a bonus tip, here's a quote from an old top-notch copywriter, Drayton Bird. For many years he worked under David Ogilvy - one of the best copywriters of all time. He says:
"My old boss David Ogilvy suggested the ideal opening paragraph is 12 words long."
God bless you! :)
