Welcome to the first post at Bent. My name is Jill, and while I have previously blogged, it’s been a few years. As for the name, I have realized, at the ripe old age of 31, that while we all go through our ups and downs, I have managed to come through it all. While I’ve not been broken by all my trials, I have been bent, but continue to keep on keeping on!
So that will be the theme around here. Never give up. Keep fighting. Live! For so many years I forgot to live, and I think so many of us fall in to that rut. We are Mothers, Daughters, Wives, Significant Others, Friends, Family…we do it all, but somewhere along the way, we forget the most important thing: ourselves.
I won’t tie this blog down to one specific topic. I am passionate about many things…my children, my friends and family, reading, cooking (eating!), living a healthy lifestyle, learning more about my surroundings (Cincinnati, Ohio)…I could go on and on, and I will. All in due time.
So, once again, welcome, to Bent. I can’t wait to talk your ear off!
Hi! I’m new at blogging too, and also from Cincinnati. I found you through The front burner and had to comment. I have been sans running for over three months now because of a herniated disc. I thought I was going to have to do surgery (it’s actually been going on for close to six months), but it looks like I’m going to get to avoid that now!!! I JUST started walking again.
Anyways, nice to meet you!
Hey, Jayna, thanks for commenting!
I was training for my very first 5k when I found out about mine. What a bummer! I immediately went to a chiropractor, but it really seemed to make it worse instead of better. So, I decided to just nurse it for awhile. It still gives me problems, and I’m really annoyed by the whole experience. I think I will start walking again soon, because not doing anything just isn’t an option. Thank goodness you avoided the surgery, that is the last thing we all want. So happy for you!
It’s really good to ‘meet’ another Cincinnati blogger! If you get a minute, shoot me an email, and if we are close, I would love to get together for a walk after I get back into the swing of things.
Welcome to the blog world. Looking forward to what you have to say.
Thanks so much, Paj!
