I am officially an adult child of divorce.
My absence from the world of blogging has been in large part due to the fact that my parents have decided to divorce after 37 years of marriage. I have no words to describe the bevy of emotions that I have been through recently. I have had to completely reorganize my own understanding of my identity and sense of self. I am sure that later blog entries will serve as a sort of therapy for some of the unresolved feelings. But, today, it struck me that it is high time to get back to the things I value in life.
Mostly, I value life. I want to enjoy this life I have been given, and recording the daily musings of my little life makes me feel happy. During my blog sabbatical, I took to writing in my bedside journal....it seemed less public and more appropriate for some of the things that were pouring forth from my heart and soul. This small act of 'journaling' is something that I have not done since I was pregnant with my first goon, and I found that I truly missed the intimate act of recording my thoughts with ink and paper. I can retrace my state of mind not only in the meaning of the words but in the handwriting, the strokes, the pressure to paper, and sometimes the occasional water mark. It has become a lost Art.
Here is to a new beginning. One that I promise to approach with honesty and a truer sense of self.

Welcome back to blogging. You have been on my mind...I know this has been a rough time. And I agree with your comments on journaling. I also returned to journaling in the past year and it has been such a good thing for me. Sending you thoughts of comfort and support. Looks like you guys are making the most of beach living. The sound of the ocean is another thing that always brings me comfort so I am glad you are near the water.
