After one year of Bloging

On September 14, 2008 I tried to start my first Blog entry, but was interrupted by the
rain that was flooding my basement. What a day that was and the days to follow.......
The reason I started this blog it was to write about the BEST of my life, but it has'nt always been the case this past year. What a year it has been to say the least...... It's been a very hard year and a half. WE found out my Dad & Father in law had cancer or that cancer returned in another area.... They both fought a hard battle, but in the end
I lost two of the BEST men in my life....Two very good friends of ours both in their 50's past away also, and my brother in law's father was gone in a blink of an eye. I can't even begin to tell some one how hard this last year in a half has been. Writing things down has helped.. and at times was very helpful.. sorting out feelings, remembering... in all that has happened good things have also been a part of my life.
Teresa and Kaya came to live with us and have brought sunshine to our everyday life just having them here. We went to two of my Nephew's Wedding's and am so glad my dad got to go... I had a whole week with Bailie this summer that I really enjoyed... the visits we had with Levi, Kim , Mattie & Bailie at Easter...there is more but if I don't enjoy the BEST things in LIFE...the hard things would be even harder.... I am going to blog a little more often then I did because it does help... I really do enjoy talking about the BEST of my life

You are right--you must remember and talk about the good things. If we dwell on the bad things, you can get pretty depressed.
It has been the saddest year of my life and the busiest, and that`s how i stay sane by keeping busy,

You are very blessed! Enjoying your "BEST"s along with you is such a treat. I love your blog, I love getting to know you all over again and staying connected with you. Keep it up, for therapeutic reasons, for sanity, for sharing or for whatever reason you wish... just keep up the good work. I'm sorry that it has been such a tough year, we are there too and feeling it. Hating it, appreciating it, dealing with it, and sometimes laughing in it's face... life has hard roads and this bumpy one needs some TLC. You need some TLC and that is why I'm thankful that you are so blessed with such a wonderful family. I love you!
