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 ..<\/p>\n
I have neglected this little blog.. but it’s not surprising, the old adage is true, grief really does change everything about your life,\u00a0<\/strong>right down to the nitty gritty.<\/p>\n “Change Everything” – Boy, do I hate that word; change.<\/p>\n 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 –<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Here’s what I do know, I have neglected this blog, just as it’s easy to neglect oneself in the throes of grief.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n I am here, turning with this crazy sphere, forging ahead – Changing, \u00a0because nothing in life is certain, except change.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you are finished changing, you are finished<\/em>\u201d. – Benjamin Franklin<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
