Unfortunately, I do this blog as a hobby because so much of my life is out of my control. It is something I can control and so far it hasn't hurt me...like some of those other control habits in life that can ultimately destroy you. Sadly, my hobbies fall to the bottom of the "To Do" list and I get really behind. If anyone is trying to follow along, I apologize.
Due to the fact that I was born into a family of ADD/ADHD brains, my ADD has me constantly running down new avenues, in pursuit of another "Great Idea!" To my dismay, I have a lot of open projects just waiting for me to visit. Yes, I'm that friend who says "We should get together! Let's do lunch" and then radio silence...crickets. It's not that I don't want to see you, I really, really do. I just want to see everyone, I want to be everywhere and I want to do everything! Some days I actually accomplish something!
Today, I will try to accomplish an update to "Tales From A Bench!" If you don't see one, that means something popped into my head and I am now running in another direction, but "I'll be back!" Okay, that didn't sound as convincing as the "Governor," but I do try to keep my word! If you visit now and then, hopefully I'll keep you entertained. We may never get where we're headed, but life is all about experiences. Am I right?...humor me here!
Here is something else I am writing, unlike "Tales From A Bench" which mostly fiction, this is all true. Exceptional Parent Magazine was the first publication I read when my daughter was diagnosed with Autism. I am honored to be contributing a small part of our experience with their readers. They are a great resource for the special needs community. If you know anyone in the special needs community, please share their publication, they can help.

Every one has a story to tell....if only to themselves. Next time you pass a bench, imagine all the stories they could tell. Follow just a few "Tales from a Bench!"
