Welcome everyone, to my crazy journey with trying to reproduce.
Two of the things in life that really make me calm are writing and music. I have a deep love of music. Ever since I was old enough to remember being able to hear, I have remembered loving music. Rock music, pop, heavy metal, classical - all kinds of music. It takes me away to another world for a spell and makes me happy. The title of my blog plays on that love. Rumours is my favourite Fleetwood Mac album. Every song on that album instantly transforms my mood. My favourite song off of that album, Dreams, has some lyrics that I can relate to:
"But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat, drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering
What you had, and what you lost
what you had, and what you lost."
In fact, I am sure many of your who have suffered multiple miscarriages can relate. What you had...and what you lost....what you had...and what you lost. A miscarriage is something no women should have to go through. Ever. To go through it more than once is an experience I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Sometimes I wonder how I am even still trying to get pregnant; how I find the strength to carry on when all three of my pregnancies have resulted in no children. Then I remember....my friends. My husband. My family. My cats. All things I love, that in some way give me the strength to keep going. I find that these days though, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to keep up with the positive outlook. Here is where my second love comes into play. Writing. Just like music, writing takes me away to another place for a little while. I have loved to write ever since I was a child. It could be a short story or a wacky poem...doesn't matter. While I am writing it's like a time where my feelings of responsibility can be shut off. The best way of trying to explain this would be like a battery being re-charged. It's a time where I can escape reality and make my own. So here I sit, starting a blog and writing my very first post. This will be therapeutic for me. Hopefully it will be therapeutic for those of you in the same boat. Or perhaps no one will read my blog at all...and that is ok...this is, first and foremost, for me.
So welcome to Dreams - A Journey for Offspring. If you guessed that the name is a play on different bands, you guessed correctly. Journey is another great band and "Don't Stop Believing" has become an anthem to my life these days. As far as Offspring goes, what can I say. We all need music with lyrics that don't require you to think. I can't ever think of a time where I was feeling down and didn't instantly feel more cheerful when "Pretty Fly (for a white guy)" came on. Not the deepest song out there, but it does make you bob your head and forget about your troubles for a few minutes. I need that every now and then. I think everyone does.
Now sit back and join me on this journey, as I tell you all about what has happen so far, what I hope will happen in the future and of course, all of the ups and downs along the way.
