It's been a while...

July 14th, 2010 at 03:26 am

Hello Friends.

It has been a while. Losing my mom, separating from the hub, changes at work, kid issues have set me back on many levels...but I am slowly figuring out life.

I have been on my own for several months...and feel so good that I am self supporting in my own home. Of course, that means budgeting and making choices...but its been very healing.

I am still settling my moms affairs...boy, that takes longer than I realized. And it is tough...I miss my mom.

I joined a Biggest Loser challenge and lost 15 lbs...but more importantly, I learned how to properly exercise and eat well...so now it is just a matter of implementing that knowledge daily! So far, very good!

The grandbabies are all doing great! They really are the joy in my life!

Bottom line, I have put to use so many of the thoughts and ideas that I learned here over the years and am proud of what I am able to do on my own at this point in my life....

Life is very good.

    Good to hear from you. I'm sorry about your separation; I didn't know that. But as you said, it can be a very liberating experience when you know you're making it on your own. Good luck!
