Every journey has a beginning

Sure, every journey has a beginning, but sometimes it's hard to know when everyday life ended and the journey began. Or is all of life a journey and the illness just a rough patch in the road? Heck, I don't know. I just know that I don't really know when I started getting sick. And at this moment, that really doesn't matter. What matters is getting well.

You know, wellness is relative. Since perfection isn't readily achievable, and wellness would seem to me to be perfection, I guess none of us are really totally "well". However, there are degrees of wellness, and my journey has been an effort to achieve varying degress if it.

Maybe we need a wellness meter, something like a glucometer. "Well-o-meter"? I'll invent one when I get around to it. ;)

I'm not much of a philosopher, so I can't wax eloquent very well, but I do know how to tell it like it is. Thus, my attempts for this blog were born. In short, this is a blog about my journey with Cushing's Disease, but it really is much, much more than that. I've learned a lot along the way with the help of some wonderful friends. I hope to pay it forward somehow and help others. And I have the need to tell my story.
