| Its been a long time. |
It has been a long time since I have been on thoughts, much less posted anything. Things were a bit hard for me this last spring and early summer. I went through a hard time with a medical condition and a bout with serious, somewhat debilitating depression. I must say it was not an easy time for me and I pushed some people away unintentionally and for that I feel sad at the loss of their friendships.
Things are going much better for me now. I have finally made decisions in my life that I feel have helped me put some things in the past. It is a relief to have those things behind me and no longer a burden to my heart and soul. I have also taken a huge step towards making a brighter future for my family and myself and bettering my situation. I enrolled in College and just last week started classes, 20 years later than most of my peers but its never to late to learn! I will be going full time while working. I already have a lot of homework.... my least favorite is math...eeek. My favorite class is World History. My Professor (he is dreamy!) said our text book would be the most boring book we read this year so when I started reading our first assignment I laughed because I didn't think it was boring at all!
I went to Vermont and Michigan this summer and spent time with some old and new friends. It was quite an adventure and so much fun. I was fortunate to meet some incredibly wonderful people and make some new friends. The scenery in Vermont was breathtaking and Michigan was very pretty with trees everywhere. It was just beautiful. Sadly I lost my sandal in the Muskegon river, one day it might even make it to Lake Michigan.
I hope to get back to writing and posting again. I have been writing a lot in my journal and working on some new poems and a short story. Life is crazy and looking back on things I wrote last year and just the beginning of this year it is amazing at how different things are and how I see things and feel. I still struggle with depression, but I am not letting it control me now. I am doing something proactive and making changes instead of just wishing things were different. As the saying goes, "If wishes were horses, we'd all be trampled to death." No more wishing for me, it is time to move forward and make my own dreams come true.
