That Which Does Not Kill Us

Sometimes in life you are faced with a life changing occurrence. Sometimes you realize that as a result of this one thing, you will never be the same again. That the safe, comfortable feeling you had, is something that is lost and you will have to work so damn hard to get back. I am sure we have all had these moments. I am sure that we have all felt as if we are broken to our innermost core and are not even sure where to begin to pick up the pieces and put them back together.

For those of you who are reading and have had this happen, I pray that you were able to build yourself back up. I pray that you received healing and were able to then be stronger as a result. I now pray that the same will be true for me.

Oh Abby

I wish there was something I could say which could speed the healing. Though I don't know the details of your situation, I do know the feeling which you describe. There are days when the pain is so great that it doesn't feel like it is possible to continue, but gradually and inexplicably, it starts to subside. Time and distance. You will heal and be stronger. I will be thinking of you and send all my love and positive energy down you way.

Welcome, Little One

Both mommy and baby are doing very well. These are just a few from earlier today. More to follow later.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show. I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless. I read anyway. Spoilers? Not bothered. Let me give some back story here. At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine. Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar. I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly. I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper. I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing. Who knew? This fu...

I Need A Break Before I Break

Damn. There is so much swirling around in my little brain.....So. Much. I am getting ready to enter my most personally difficult time of the year. Emotionally. I am also entering my most difficult semester (and LAST!) of college. Oh, and trying to train for another half marathon. There are many days as of late that I am not sure how I'm doing it or even why at times. I am trying to keep it together, trying to keep a balance. But sometimes I am not sure I am doing so well. With so many plates to juggle, even if they are ceramic plates, I often feel as though I am dropping one (or more). I am trying to figure out what I want in life. What is important to me. What I need versus what I want. And how it all fits together with various parts of my life. I'm learning that sometimes what you think is important is not so much and things that you didn't pay much mind to are actually more importan...
