A Year In The Life

Wow.. It's been a long time hasn't it? I just didn't have any desire to post anything here I suppose. It's been a busy year here for my family. Some bad, sad, devastating, and good things have happened. Just normal life I suppose. The year didn't start out well. My grandmother lost her battle with cancer. That was sad. Accepted, but sad at any rate. Then we lost my 2 year old nephew. Brutally murdered. Life just doesn't seem fair sometimes. Lots of other bumps in the road as well.. Financial problems, a few health issues, our oldest son being hospitalized. It was just a weird time.. A weird year. There were good things that happened too. I cut a lot of unnecessary shit out of my life. I feel better for that. My family, despite having all these hurdles, we've stuck close together and we've made it through the other side. It didn't hurt that I had some fantastic friends to get me through and give me support as well. This year I was able to distinguish who were really friends and who were not. That knowledge is worth its weight in gold. Even though this has been a rough year I feel like a rich woman in many ways. Experiencing life and living to tell the tale. I wish you all a Happy Holiday Season and a Happy New Year. Peace. :)
