Today the blog has a new face.. not sure if I'm 100% satisfied, but it will have to do for now.
My next step: to create a catch up photo collage.
I will be working on that sometime this week. I literally have thousands of pictures to go through.
Well, now I'm off to the library, the books I have requested are now in.
Toodles!

I'm Back!!!! ... Hopefully on a weekly basis. I may even get lucky and I'll find the time and or inspiration to post more frequently. I have missed blogging. I wasn't in it for glory, fame or to be rated on how popular my life is. It was simply a journal, like the one I wrote in when I was a younger girl. A place where I would write down my thoughts, my fears, my hopes, my aspirations and my joys... BUT this is unlike the journals I kept as a young teen.. THIS journal I welcomed my family to read, to share in and to partake in our lives from across the miles.
Family is VERY important to me... I seem like a stranger to most of them now.. it's been so many years in which we have been apart. My heart aches for those Sunday family dinners, birthday parties, picnics in the park, Halloween parties, Christmas mornings and just those days that after an amazing dinner you take a short nap on your mother's couch. It really doesn't get anymore peaceful than that. So many family traditions in which we began with our children are now just bittersweet memories. Every holiday is spent, with just the 5 of us and while we are enjoying the day, we have a void.. and let me tell you.. it sucks!
BUT ANYWAY... I didn't want to revamp this blog on a soggy, sad, or boo hoo kind of note... that is NOT my intention. It gives you a perspective as to why I am taking charge of it again. I simply miss my family sharing in our lives. Period. I miss my creative writing outlet. Even if it is just about my life.. I miss writing about it.
I would love to catch up with a collage of pictures of what has happened in the past 3 years in which I have not shared our lives. Pictures are somewhat self explanatory right? BUT... one thing.. I have forgotten how to post pictures on the blog. I am going to have to relearn the blog workings even if it kills me. First off, I am off to change my template. Since we have started a new life, a rebirth in many aspects of our lives, I find it only fitting to revamp the blog to suit us now. So with that being said.. I'm off to give this ole girl a new coat of paint and I'll be back to begin the photo collage.
Au Revoir!
