Life. It is what it is.

I wish I had more time to write. I've done a miserable job keeping my blog up to date but that is the way it goes. These days, it takes me weeks to even get the pictures I have taken from the camera to the computer. Life has been full. It is too full sometimes. The last (almost) 11 months have been all about responding to unpleasant situations, dealing with the emotions, learning, growing and trying to not let it consume me.


It has not all been bad. My kids are still wonderful, my work is still keeping me plenty busy and my first born came to visit me and meet the rest of the family. We have had a family wedding, babies born, vacations, celebrations, unexpected visitors, natural disasters and weekend getaways. My life has been so full mostly because I have chosen for it to be that way and partly because things just happen sometimes. It is the things that are out of my control that have been all consuming, draining, frustrating. It is all part of the balance of life - birth/death, fun/disappointment, sickness/health, marriage/divorce, unemployment/work/play. It is part of being an adult. It is life.


I might eventually finish trying to update the months of summer but then again, it might not happen. With the past 11 months, I have come to expect the unexpected. It is anyone's guess what the future holds. In the meantime, I will continue to try to keep my blog going.
