It's been a long time since I've blogged. A lot has changed. I have a full time job teaching. I have 3 teenagers in my house. We have a different house. Half the links on my side bar no longer function. Lol.
But a lot has stayed the same. Tim is still working at the church. He is still my favorite. My kids still amaze me and crack me up and drive me bananas. Our parents are all healthy. All good things.
So why pick this up again and log in for the first time in almost 5 years? Because of our new normal. We, along with so many other people, are social distancing. If I use the word quarantine I might go crazy, so social distancing it is. And I desperately need a space to process this new normal. I don't know how long it will last, or what the world will look like when we re-emerge from this strange cocoon. I don't know if anyone will ever read this or how long I will use this as an outlet. But I know that blogging kept me sane when I was adopting. I would pour out my heart and my tears because this is how I express myself. And I am fighting for a way to put my thoughts and feelings into words that are not screaming craziness. I don't know. Sometimes my blogs might sound like screaming craziness. We shall see.
So if you run across this and want to read along, that's fine. But I am doing this for me. Because I need it. And I am fighting for a new normal that can sustain me for the long haul.
