I knew it had been a while since I had posted anything on my blog, but I didn't realize it had been since the end of September. This year has been a rough one. Someone recently said "your year has been a singular, bad experience. I'm sure you hope it won't be repeated." I can only hope so. From the little to the big, things have not gone well this year. I've lost my dad, a best friend, and several pets. Trying to find perspective has been a constant challenge this year. I've said several times that I'm sure it sounds stupid, but you never really know how much you'll miss someone until they are gone. That's really been true for me, as there are so many things that I associated with my dad and my friend Jenn.
I'm not sure that there is anything "normal" in anyone's life. Trying to find a new "normal" seems almost like searching for the Holy Grail. Mom told me this morning that this is the first Christmas since she was 14 years old that my dad hadn't been with her. I don't think there is a new normal for her or for the rest of us. I think it's just life and you do the best you can.
I'm going to try to get back to blogging about things that matter to me. It's something I enjoy and maybe it can help me find a new "normal."
