Looking Back

I have discovered this weekend that FaceBook isn't the place to "air" my dirty laundry. It isn't the place to moan and complain about how much my life sucks at the moment. It isn't fair that I complain about my life when I have friends who are hurting much more. Friends who have lost their little babies, friends who are single parents because their loved ones are serving our country. Friends who have been diagnosed with terminal illness or loss of a loved one.

My life seems so petty compared to all my dear friends who are fighting a harder fight.

At the same time I need a release. I'm not the best at expressing my emotions verbally. I usually bottle things up and feel I have no one to turn to (even though I know a bunch of my friends would be there in a heartbeat to listen to me cry and complain) I just hate having to put that on anyone.

Blogging is great for the heart and soul. It is great for the tremendous amounts of encouragement. And it is also great to keep everyone who cares updated on life. I didn't want to use my blog that I write mostly for my kids. I wanted something separate. My kids are my life. My divorce is just a little speed bump.  Blogging helps you to feel you are not alone. The keyboard and computer screen will let you cry as long as you need and with a simple click of a button you can have a dozen people help uplift you.

My desire is to go on this journey and document every step so that one day...a year from now...a month from now..whenever I start healing I can look back and see all the Lord has done in my life and how I really was stronger than I thought.

With all that said, I don't think I will be linking this blog to Facebook all the time. So, if you wanna take this "journey" with me you will have to subscribe to this blog so you can get the updates.

Thank you to each and everyone of you who have supported me and been there for me. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you all.
