It's been a long while since I've written anything on this blog. For the past year or two I just haven't felt like writing. Life is busy and it's easy to send off a quick post to Facebook or snap a pic on my phone and post on Instagram. Life is messy too. Mine has been. For the past couple of years we faced some issues in our marriage like my husbands addiction to alcohol and my codependency, we have had problems with debt and have second guessed decisions we've made. It hasn't been all pretty flowers and cute decorating, so I haven't posted. We're still working through those messy issues and I miss having a place to capture my thoughts. So, here I am. I'm 45 now. I was 39 when I started this blog and so excited about having a place to write and that someone out in the world might actually see it. Now, I'm not too concerned about who reads it. I'm writing for me and I'm ready to be real. I'm in the process of changing the name of this blog to reflect how I've changed. I'm still Blessed. I'm still counting those Blessings. But now, I want to write about me and everything in my life...not just the cute, flowery fluff. (Although, I'm sure there will still be plenty of that here). I honestly believe that everything we go through prepares us for something better. I'm counting on it.
It's August and a time for new beginnings. Looking forward to sharing it here.
Love,
Jackie
