The journey continues

 I just got up from laying down on the couch listening to music, dozing a little in and out of a light sleep.  A few thoughts came to mind while laying there.  If you have followed my blog in the past or just starting to now you may see that there is a gap of time or you read the last post back in January when I signed off and went private instead of public.  Well I've recently changed my mind and decided to continue my journey through my blog. I've missed my blog, I didn't realize how much it was a part of me.  It helps me work things out, it expresses hope and maybe inspires me and others some. All this say that I needed to write a post that I'm back to putting myself, struggles, joys and blessings out there again.

I think one reason why I've started it back up is because I have so much time on my hands again since December.  I was let go of, terminated from my job, that I really enjoyed and didn't plan on going anywhere.  Unemployment has not been easy and I didn't expect that it would last as long as it has for me, but its not easy finding a new job right now during this time in where are in.  In the craziness of what the covid-19 pandemic brought to our lives. Who knew how much of our lives would be affected or changed by a virus.  But we won't go there anymore for right now.  I find myself tired of talking about it and just surviving and going with the flow and making the most of it all constantly looking for the joys and happy moments of it all.

I've been through many emotions since I've been home and not working. I've really been taking self-care and creativity to a whole new level in my life.  I color in my coloring books more, I've read a book and started another one.  I have been available more for my kids. Ugh my adult children....my youngest turned 18 back in December.

There is an upcoming change that I will really need to process and my blog will help.  I will soon have an empty nest. Yes, all of my babies will have left the nest.  My youngest moves out in 2 weeks. Both of my daughters will be 2 hours away from me in Phoenix.  My son moved in with their dad until he can save and get back out on his own too.  

Because of all the changes I need my blog in my life again.  I need to write, share, process and celebrate life here.  I made my blog public again, I don't plan on announcing it or shouting off the roof top about it. I'm just going to write and put it out there and hope who needs it will find it.
