It's Been Awhile...

It’s been awhile since I’ve written a blog post here. Time has gotten away from me and simply flown away. I keep meaning to write a post and in fact have written one several times in my head but have not gotten to the computer to write it down and post it. One thing or another keeps getting in the way and before you know it another week or two or three are gone. Now I see that it’s been a year and a half since my last post. So much for posting once or twice a month.

Since my last post when I was having such a pity party I took another nose dive even further when I was asked to step away from serving in the church doing the slides for the music. I pretty much haven’t been to church since then because as I said, that was the whole reason I was able to force myself to go and cope with all the noise and light and people.

I was angry at God and the worship pastor for a while, but the Lord straightened both of us out on that score since it was more of a lack of communication issue than anything else.

So what have I been doing since then? Well, not so much really. Mainly reading books on my iPad, napping and blogging about them on my book review blog Shelf Full of Books and trying to stay positive.

This past spring we had to put one of our dogs down. Marble belonged to my daughter Leanne. He was blind but then developed cataracts and glaucoma and a suspected tumour behind his eye. The poor fella was in pain all the time

though he made a great attempt at not showing it. Now with both my young adult children gone to work in Alberta for the summer the house is quiet except for the dog that belongs to my son that howls and yips and barks whenever my husband is home but not in the same room as the dog is.

As for the migraines, they were holding steady for a while there, but in June

they took a steady turn upwards to one of the worst in several. In fact today is the first day I have been able to elevate my head in about 5 days. We’ve had a heat wave here and the most beautiful sunny weather, but get me anywhere near a light source and it’s instant pain.

That’s it in a nutshell for a year-and-a-half. I can’t remember all the blog posts I would have written about. I know there were quite a few, but the medications for the migraines often make it difficult to remember things. That’s why it’s not a very good idea for me to procrastinate. However, now that I’ve finally gotten a blog post up here again, I kind of feel much more motivated to keep it up on a more regular basis and make it more of a priority.

Here’s hoping to visit with you again in the near future! Keep your smile on!
