It’s been almost a year since I last posted anything related to anything, which I hadn’t quite realized. Maybe it’s because I updated a couple of sections of the blog pages to include more picture related documentation of our adventures. Maybe it’s because I haven’t felt there was much to write about or maybe I find writingContinue reading “Catching Up”

Birthdays & Valentines
Things are settling into a routine that I am finding very comforting. Sometimes you don’t realize the amount of stress that you carry to get everything done until someone else takes over some of the things that need to be done. Of course what has been taken over are the tasks that I really don’tContinue reading “Birthdays & Valentines”
Excitement & More Change
I posted a something on Facebook recently stating “I used to run and hide from change, now I chase it down and clobber it into submission”. It is what I feel like now. I did used to hide from change, I didn’t want change, didn’t see the need. I did see the need for growth,Continue reading “Excitement & More Change”
New Relationships
There are so many times that I have met people who aren’t truly happy. They pretend but don’t really seem to find what they hope and search for. I am a watcher. I see strange things in relationships between those around me who seem to be in very loving relationships. So many wear the maskContinue reading “New Relationships”

I keep wondering where I pull my strength from, how I can move forward without feeling lost in pain and sadness. Maybe it’s just who I am and that I don’t get lost in those feelings.Continue reading “Our 1st Christmas”
Preparing for the Winter Holidays
Every year you prepare for the holidays. Purchasing gifts, making plans to spend time with family and friends. This is the cycle that we live due to holidays that we celebrate. It doesn’t change with the loss of a loved one. It doesn’t change even though you are not sure you can think about beingContinue reading “Preparing for the Winter Holidays”
The Fall Struggles
It’s been a while since I have shared how we are doing because we are still settling into what normal looks like. It shifts a bit every month and there are days that are great, good and not so much. Our continued journey has hit a few snags and additional challenges throughout the last coupleContinue reading “The Fall Struggles”
Kids back to something normal
On September 1, 2021 the kids started back at school, in person. They are very happy to be back among friends and being in a physical school. This also makes me happy as I don’t have to fight with them every day to do their schoolwork and focus on what needs to be done relatedContinue reading “Kids back to something normal”
Things you miss
You don’t fully realize what you like, love or need from someone until they arn’t there to provide those things. It’s hard to know how much you truly rely on your partner until they aren’t there to support, provide encouragement and intimate love. For those of you reading this who have lost a partner eitherContinue reading “Things you miss”
