This year I won’t be making one as I don’t have a specific thing I want to change right now. I started so many new things last year and they will not be ending this year. So, I think I will say that this year I will “continue”. I wish you all much success as you continue your own path this year.

Well, lookie here – it’s already a new year. And in keeping with my resolution of no resolutions, this year I challenge myself, and all of you to “Trust Yourself”. 2016 was a rough year in a lot of ways, for a lot of people – including myself. But, I am going to try very hard in the new year to trust myself – my decisions and my opinions.

I really need to talk about females who have Adult ADHD, but I really don’t know what to say, yet. Because, apparently, diagnosing females with ADHD is a very complicated thing that has been misdiagnosed pretty much since it was identified in white, male children. * Anyway, no, I’m not diagnosed with it. But, after reading about it and self-diagnosing myself (*Thanks too much free time between jobs! ), I raised the possibility with my long-term doctor, who agreed that it might be something to look at further, when I’m on insurance again and can get back in there to chat about it.

One of the pamphlets they sent was called “Men Can Get Breast Cancer, Too, which I thought would be good to focus on since this is a predominantly male manufacturing plant. On a positive note, there was one guy that HAD been screened for breast cancer because many of the women in his family had had cancer, so he was aware of the need to check himself. Fact: In 2016, it is expected that there will be 2600 new incidences of men being diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, and 440 male deaths. And for those of you that know men with breast cancer, surviors, or their supporters, there is a forum on the Susan G. Komen site to share stories and experiences with others that they may be interested in checking out, too.
