Season's Greetings!

As we look hopefully toward the beginning of a brand new year, I wanted to check in with you all and wish you well.

I know it's been ages  -- far too long -- but I assure you I am still standing, still healing, and still very much navigating this roller coaster ride of a journey.  We are now well beyond the worst, but adjusting to this "new normal" has been a challenge for me.  Loss has finally given way to gain, but it seems that regaining my equilibrium and sense of self is going to take yet more time, patience, faith, and understanding.  Most days are wonderful in comparison to six months or a year ago ... but emotions are still running very high.  Fortunately, I was given a clean bill of health in October and I've been hitting the ground running ever since.  We've been busy making the most of where we are right now -- working on house projects, crafting, celebrating the every day, catching up on long-neglected chores, and basking in the warm glow of the holiday season.  

This space has been idle because I've been focusing all of my energies elsewhere, not really knowing how to get myself back in the loop.  Frankly, I'm not sure if I'll be carving out time to blog more regularly or not.  I do miss this space so much, but I'm finding there just aren't enough hours in the day to accomplish everything on my wish list.  I guess only time will tell...


In the meantime, here's a peek at some of the things that have been keeping us so very busy these last months:

As always, thank you for your interest, prayers, and faithful support.  I am humbled ... and so incredibly appreciative of each and every one of you.  May 2012 be a wondrous, memorable, healthy, and restorative year for us all ... Let the New Year begin!
