Hurts Everyday

As I went downstairs for the familiar routine of letting CiCi, my beloved Chihuahua, out and turning on the lights.  Suddenly, the thought hit me, hit me hard:  Is that part of the problem?  I want to have that wonderful feeling of looking forward to the end of the day and being with someone who loves me and whom I love?

Yes, it is what I want, what I crave.

Sadly, I have not found that.  I'm 44 years old and I have not found that.

I'm at the point where I do not believe I will find that.

And that hurts.  Hurts everyday.

I Am Back . . . Please Join Me

Thanks to so many that have left me comments and personal emails regarding my whereabouts.  I appreciate all the concerns.  Sadly, my health has taken a big turn for the worse this past year.  Also, since I started homeschooling my children (and remember, I am single mother) it has been very difficult to find time for me and things I want to do.

But, here I am.

I have LOTS of family news, book reviews, Christmas ideas, quotes & 'other thoughts of the day," health updates, and all kinds of cherished thoughts to share with you.


Please accept my sincere apologies for being MIA.  Now onto blogging...

Thought of the Day - 2/19/11

In early America, Benjamin Franklin was wiser, Alexander Hamilton more brilliant, John Adams more literate, Thomas Jefferson more sophisticated , and James Madison more politically savvy.  But each of these prominent men cited George Washington as their superior.  Why?  I think Washington was esteemed and respected more than any of his contemporaries because he was human.
