The big question is where to begin. Do I begin at the beginning? Do I begin where I am right now? Do I begin at the beginning of the chapter I’m currently in?

Let’s begin with why I’m beginning to write a blog. I always seem to have a story. Even though I try to live a calm, peaceful (aka boring) life, that just doesn’t seem to happen. Things that should be simple end up with a story around them. I’ve always enjoyed sharing my ‘stories’ on Facebook. Until last week… here’s the story…

I was minding my own business, making my funny/thought provoking posts on FB, never had a problem… until a few weeks ago. I tried to log in one morning and couldn’t get access. I saw an email from FB saying there was a suspicious login attempt about one minute earlier. I followed their instructions… changed passwords… all was good. The exact same thing happened about a week later. I noticed it within minutes of it happening and resolved it. Happened again the next morning when I was NOT online so it was about an hour before I reacted. And that was the problem. I don’t know what the hacker did but apparently I violated community standards and was no longer eligible for FB… it appears that they mean EVER!!!! I’m in the same category as Donald Trump! How the heck did that happen?!?!?! So after several emails and attempts to communicate with FB it became abundantly clear that I was no longer welcome. Now I know that I could set up another account and all that but I’m in the boycott FB camp at the moment. I’m ticked off that I lost access to all my photos, memories, stories… thus this blog. I’ve had many people tell me over the years that I should write a book. I thought about starting a blog when I moved to Bermuda (that will be the topic of my next entry) but I didn’t do it. So I figured this was just the push I needed. So thanks FB… your loss… blogging world’s gain.
