Hi, my name is Gracie St. John and I've been blogging here for over 7 years now. I talk about my life, my kids and my interests, my passions and my difficulties. Some days it's a little ditty from my heart. Other times it's a tirade on something I'm blowing steam over.
I guess I should tell you about something significant about myself. I have sever Bipolar Disorder Type 1 and I cycle through my different states rapidly. I talk about it, but not all the time... heh. You never know what might happen.
In any case, why don't you visit now an again? I'd love to see you here. Drop me a note. And as always, I'll try to keep it interesting.
