    Hello everyone… this month’s blog post is different. In this one I am asking for your help.  Don’t panic I’m not asking you to buy or sell anything! 

    I started this blog 2 ½ years ago. When I first created it, people asked me “What is your blog about?”.  My answer was somewhat vague.  My thought was that is just a platform for me to express myself.  The content would be whatever I chose it to be. 

    I didn’t want it to be the same as so many cookie cutter blog sites that exist.  As a result, you all have gotten a peak into my life, my beliefs, my hopes and dreams.  I have chosen to share them willing with those of you that care to come along for the ride.

    Today I find that I still struggle to define what my blog is about.  I have some ideas, but I’d like to know what impact my blog has on you the reader.  My home page says:
    Welcome to the Edge of Fitting In...
    ​As you explore these pages you may find reasons to laugh or cry.
    You may learn from my mistakes, or not!
    My wish is that you find a bit of inspiration, food for thought or maybe even a nugget of gold!”
    I would like to know if I have accomplished those goals.  Please help me make “The Edge of Fitting In…” better by answering the questions below.  You can answer in any of the following ways:

    7 AM Alarm!
    All I really want to do is throw the phone. Instead, I swipe to dismiss the godawful noise. Before the voice in my head convinces me to fall back asleep, I get up, get dressed and plod downstairs zombie like.  

    She says, “Go back to bed. The covers are nice and warm.” 

    Still wishing I were back in bed I manage to change from my house shoes to my gym shoes.  I drag my sleepy ass downstairs to the basement, turning on only one light (it’s better this way, trust me).  After putting resistance bands and stability ball in place I slowly start the first of a two-set circuit. I often think about doing 3 sets but that would require me to get up earlier and I’m not that evolved yet.
