New Beginning

Again, I start a new blog. It has been maybe 5 years since I have expressed myself this way. Maybe that is just because my life has followed a simple pattern - work, home, try to keep the house clean and my daughter fed, pay the bills. That changed in May of 2012 when I met someone fabulous that awakened my emotional self again and has breathed some much needed life into my routine. With his help, I have been reinvigorated and have new drive to be an amazing mom and partner and person.

That being said, I again need new outlets for my mind - it had been in a holding pattern for so long that no outlet was needed. In the last year I have read more books than in the last 5 years, I have created crafty things, made vacation plans - I have lived my life the way I really want to. And I need to track that progress so that I don't become complacent and jaded about my life. I want to be able to appreciate all that the people in my life give me and what I give me!
