Life's Events

"It's not the events in life that define you, it's how you deal with them."

Scott Hamilton

My life has been very hectic, crazy, & down right chaotic since October. I'm afraid that due to the situation, I've let my blog suffer. First, my husband of less than two years and I have separated. Second, I have moved into a small "studio" apartment. It is a step down from a one bedroom apartment. It may only be a little over 400 square feet, but it is mine; my own space, my rules, my home! Obviously all of my belongings won't fit into my apartment, so at least half of my stuff will be in storage. In fact I still have some of my things at my old address. Needless to say I can't find anything when I need or want it! The good news is that my storage building is practically across the street. After I get the last load from the house, when I'm looking for something it will only be in 1 of 2 places, not 3! Not knowing where things are is extremely frustrating, especially when it's been that way since at least 5 moves ago!



I have also had some health problems during all this. In fact I'm waiting right now to hear from one of my Doctors' Office to find out what date he is going to do my knee surgery. You should see me hobbling around on crutches trying to carry things to my car or apartment. I'm quite the sight.



For the past 4 months packing, moving, unpacking and trying to figure out which of all my necessities are true necessities haven't just been physically exhausting, but mentally exhausting as well.



I would like to take the quote I've listed on the top of the page to heart and not let all the madness since October define me. For one thing all that madness makes for great writing inspiration! Now that I have more of a grip on my life, I look forward to publishing more posts on a regular basis, and work on my other writing projects.



Thank you to those who never gave up on me!
