Well Hello! It's been awhile! Life certainly does change. I tried to start this blog in 2009 to sort out my life a bit and see where I might be headed. As you can see from the posts, I did not do much of that process here. But the process has been continuing. I still want to write, more so every day. I have other passions that are overtaking me in this part of my life as well. I think I might be ready to do more of it here, and maybe this really will focus my energy a bit. Life has been rough over the last 7 years. Many changes and most of them were not good. I lost friends and family to cancer and other illnesses. I've watch what I thought would be my job into retirement, dry up and vanish before my eyes. While I thought that would surely be the end - it was not. Thankfully, I have found other employment when necessary and still have hopes and dreams that are much better and more life changing than the loss of that corporate job. Not saying times haven't been trying, nevertheless I continue to find purpose and help those around me to as well. So in saying that, I will try to revitalize this endeavor. I have aspirations in writing, decorating & design (especially recycling & up cycling), cooking and eating fresh whole foods, maintaining the best possible health that I can as I age into my golden years. I will touch on these things, hopefully you will find them interesting and follow along. If you are reading this, thank you for taking an interest. I'd love to hear comments and stories, responding as much as I can. So Happy Thanksgiving, lets see where we go now!
