So I was reminded today that I haven't submitted a post on my blog in quiet a long while. To be honest, I forgot about my blog, but here I am willing to start it again.
So, since we last saw each other, much has changed in my life. I had two major losses.. my father passed away and my precious Lady MacBeth left us as well. The year 2014 was not good for me at all; with the exception that we adopted our sweet Lily.
As a result of my father's death, I had to stop working entirely so I could help take care of my mother. It's funny... for so long I bitched about going to work, now I would give anything if I could have those days back. I will be very honest.. care-giving is not for the faint of heart... It is very demanding work, and even if you love the person you are care-giving, it still is extremely stressful and can really make you change your attitude about others. I am told often that I must make time for myself... but that is a fantasy because the responsibilities remain. So my first question: readers have you ever been a care-giver? And if so, how did you do it?
Mikey and I are still together.. in fact we will be celebrating our 15th anniversary on September 16th of this year. I never really saw myself married, and to think that I am still married 15 years later is pretty miraculous.. if you ask me. Marriage is A LOT of hard work and you really have to devote yourself to making it work all the time because it is so easy to just walk away and say I am done.
I wasn't raised like that.. I was never raised to walk away from a challenge. When something is broken you don't throw it away, you fix it and use it again. That is what so many people forgot, that is why the divorce rate is so high. It's so easy to just throw something away and just buy a shiny new one...Question two: do you agree with my readers?
Well, I better get going and start my day. I will try to update you guys as time goes by and please share my blog. Maybe if I get more readers I will really make this thing work. I mean, honestly, who doesn't want to hear about my FABULOUS life.
Toodles :)
