    Wow, I have just come back to this blog I started almost 3 years ago. I quit it...don't know why, but I did. I have read the old posts and they were all relevant to the time, but now in hindsight they have no bearing. So much has happened since my last post. So much has changed for the better and some things have not changed at all. I think I will revisit this blog thing and try it again. I have been encouraged to write again so I will. I will keep this blog for me, to document my progress, or lack of progress and to keep my thoughts on this topic in order and contemporary.

    I am currently unemployed, mostly due a serious fall down the stairs about two years ago. It is frustrating and difficult, but I am dealing with it. I have found myself yet again in and out of another relationship. I no longer believe that I will marry again, and have rededicated myself to my children and my well being.  For reasons that are unknown to me I have become estrange from most of my immediate family and while it stings a little at my age I will survive. I no longer hurt as I did two years ago and have much more confidence and faith in what the future holds. I have started keeping a daily journal and have reached out to some old friends with much success.

   I am on the road back and I feel great! I am certain that the future holds great promise and cannot wait for each day to begin. I will document some of the things that brought me here and share insights to what has worked for me. I hope what I write is of some value to other. I know it has value to me. I will post some links that I have found helpful and share some books that I have enjoyed. I welcome any and all comments and suggestions as well as questions. I am still starting over, over 50.
