I so appreciate ya'll (that's for you, Joanne) allowing me the grace to take a blog break.I can't say I've actually got it all figured out yet...Natalee said some things that really helped me to look inward and attempt to discover my reasons for blogging. What? You don't know Natalee? Here she is.I had the [...]

And, because I am one weepy-stressed-anxious mess...I even cried. Yes, CRIED when I read your sweet, sweet comments and even more evidence that change IS my life...I'm admitting it!Seriously, thank you and yes...I so need walking buddies.

Totally news to me. Okay, not so much.Here's the thing with stress and anxiety and worry. It makes you forget.Or at least it makes me forget.I forgot that I tend to stress and worry and get anxious.

Why is that? Maybe the "pressure" is off? Bwahhahaha. Pressure. I crack myself up.I've been watching a lot of Olympics these days. Specially beach volleyball and swimming. I have some questions regarding beach volleyball.How do they get their suits to 1) not ride up and 2) hold everything in?Oh yeah, I'm talking the girls here. [...]

But I had a few things to share. Nothing meaty going on here, trust me....if you do not already have this book...I highly recommend it. I have spent 10 days on the introduction alone. That may be due more to the fact that a lot of big words are used and I have to stop [...]
