Tap, tap, tap...is this thing on!?

It probably isn't a good thing when you have to go searching through your many blog links to remember where your own blog can be found! Only half kidding! ;)

My good friend Kristi was talking about blogging this week for the first time in awhile and I myself had been thinking the same thing. I have really missed having a place where I could just ramble on and keep a running log of all the little things that happen from day to day. So, here I am. Ready to jump back in.

It has been a long time since I've blogged and just blogged about life in general instead of just writing about losing my Dad. I find myself in a slightly different position now... not emotionally, so much, as I still feel the same about him... just a little different about the situation. There is a healing that takes place when you realize that the love and the days were enough and all the other noise surrounding is just that- noise. There is also a wonderful peace that comes when you don't feel guilt or anger.

So, I can't wait to share my stories about my kid... my life...my pictures...and maybe, juuuust maybe a scrapbook page or two! It has been a long time since I've really been able to be creative and the reason for that has mostly been my computer...it was "elderly" and moved a little slower but I have remedied that issue and I am ready to Photoshop my heart out! :)

So, welcome back, little blog, welcome back to the land of the living. And of course, here is a picture share. I have more that will go along with it but short story for now: Joe went away for work and Mia and I had a little girls weekend... we were just plain silly and we laughed....a lot.

The Candy Lou blogger, pinterester, tweeter, facebooker is back! HA! I was actually able to link to your blog through the comment you left on mine. Cool.

Love what you said about your dad. Isn't is great that in heaven there is no sense of time?! We miss our family or friends that have left this earth here.....yet they are sitting at our Father's feet living they way He intended. I think the way you describe healing is what God intended....I think He wanted us to experience in a small way His experience with His son on the cross. Then, take the time to heal -- a process we are to go through and grow.
