Well, where have I been? Because it hasn’t been here. I have a draft post I started at the beginning of 2025, and I did a brief read through and boy, that post probably isn’t seeing the light of day ..
I have neglected this little blog.. but it’s not surprising, the old adage is true, grief really does change everything about your life, right down to the nitty gritty.
“Change Everything” – Boy, do I hate that word; change.
I have had a chaotic sort of life. My marriage was something that grounded me, stabilized me – I blossomed in that marriage and I really liked that change. That change was welcome, it was needed –
But I’ve had to change again since then. I didn’t like that change, that change came with the realization that the man I considered my soul mate, my life long partner is no longer by my side. And so, the earth keeps turning and I have no choice but to turn with it.
Why am I writing this so close to midnight just a week shy of Thanksgiving? I couldn’t tell you, sometimes the answers don’t come when you want them.
Here’s what I do know, I have neglected this blog, just as it’s easy to neglect oneself in the throes of grief.
The Holidays are upon us dear reader, take time to care for yourself, for these days can be torture for those who are still missing someone/s.
I am here, turning with this crazy sphere, forging ahead – Changing, because nothing in life is certain, except change.
“When you are finished changing, you are finished”. – Benjamin Franklin
