Why I wanted to blog

I really love my title... "Talk is Good with Liz" subtitle "Thoughts on Life and Living by Liz Yost".. It clearly explains exactly what I like to do... talk.... and my personal experiences on life and living.....

Before I begin writing I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to Julie... she set up my home page site.... Julie did ALL the work.... I drove her crazy asking all kinds of questions... she responded to my silly questions by saying that NO question is dumb or silly... Julie is a true professional and a great friend.... THANK YOU JULIE, GREAT JOB !!!

Since Joe (my husband) and I moved from Pennsylvania is 2003, it has been quite an adjustment, especially for me... We moved 3 times zones away from family and friends... My "network" of women that were such an important part of my life. What I found so amazing, is that even though we are 3651 miles away, ALL those women have remained my very best friends. They have encouraged me, supported me, counseled me, reassured me, made me cry and laugh!

I must name them.. not in any special order... but I owe them omage... from Longfellow Circle... Marie, Penny, Greta, Rosemary, Ann, Marlene and Louise! Of course my daughter Kimberly. I must also not forget to mention my daughters friends.... Julie, Amy, Lisbeth, Petrena and Jen. ! All of these women are just remarkable !

Louise especially said one day... that she and all her sisters thought that by the time they had reached this time in our lives, that they thought they had pretty much all the answers to what life brought to them... Louise immediatley said... That was "silly".. We do not have any more anwers to lifes' problems today, than we did 40 years ago! How right she was...

Now that I really have no other network of women to talk to about all kinds of issues, problems or just simple conversation.. I realized how important it is to have that Network of people.. It is time for me to get back into a network with all women... not losing those very special ones I mentioned a minute ago... I really believe we ALL have issues or circumstances that come our way and challenge us.... What do we do? How do we do it? How do we handle this without hurting anyones feelings? It is the conversation and feedback with ideas or suggestions that help each of us put in to perspective the best way to go forward.

So having said all of that, it is so crucial to me to interact with others... No matter what the topic, I need and want to talk to other women... perhaps we can share our problems, thoughts, fears or happiness and pass critical imformation along..

I think this post is longer than I wanted it to be, but feel it necessary for everyone to understand why I needed to blog... So, thanks to Julie my blog creator, my beautiful daughter Kimberly and to all my wonderful friends who have kept in touch and guided me... Hopefully together, We too can pass along lifes' vital necessities to others.

Bye for now.... Liz
