Welcome to my first posting. I’m not exactly sure what I’m doing, so prepare to be amused as I fumble through the world of blogging.

My idea for this came from boredom. I have some extra time on my hands now that I’m an empty nester, so I decided that I would try my hand at writing something. Hmmm….what could I write about? I think of myself as having a very normal life, an awesome husband, two great kids, and an adorable little dog…..not terribly exciting topics to anyone but me.

What my husband and I don’t have…is perfect health. My husband had a heart attack at 43 followed by double by-pass surgery. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at 44. So, our forties have not been, well …”fabulous”.  But, the great part is that both of us are still here!  It is my goal for it to stay that way.  We want to grow old together and enjoy our life along the way.    For me, having RA is just a speed bump, not a road block.  I will not always blog just about RA…because my life is so much more than that.  So, come along with me as I’m living life with RA.
