It's been almost 4 months (!!!!) since I've had a chance to write, and over two years since I've gotten a chance to write about things I used to like to write about (you know, life BTM- before brain tumor). I've missed writing about fluff...silly parenting anecdotes, personal challenges, and "normal" daily life things. The last two years have been a trip, to say the least. It's been a "process." It's kind of felt like a lot of shoes dropping...every time we'd get back to standing, something would make our knees buckle or fall over altogether. In the mean time, I took a much necessary hiatus from writing. While writing is usually the thing that helps me most, rehashing the negative felt counterproductive. Instead of writing about the past, I needed to learn to live again in the present. I had to...for myself...for my kids...for any one of us to have happiness, I had to stop looking over my shoulder. It hasn't been an easy process-little set backs can send me spiraling, but for the most part, we're doing pretty great. And last week, out of nowhere, the urge to write resurfaced...except I didn't want to rehash any of the crappy stuff. I wanted to write about life again...parenting struggles, recipes, home decor, weight problems, clothes...you name it! I can't say I'll never write about the serious again...after all, I can't control life...but I think for a while, I'll stick to the daily living part ;)
The blog page will be under construction for a little while...I haven't updated my banner since before Ben was born, and since he started preschool last week, I think it needs a new look! See ya soon!!
