It has been a LONG time since I last posted...I haven't even checked out other peoples blogs, which is one of my favorite pastimes. The past week has been a pretty emotional for me. I have been pretty down with how certain things in my life are going. I got my test results back and it appears that there is nothing wrong with my gall bladder (which is great news) but I still have no explanation for my abdominal pain. I am starting to think that I have an ulcer due to my crazy, stressful job. The passion for my job is quickly fading away and I am starting to think that I don't need that kind of stress in my life. I would rather be at home with my family or friends then at work being yelled at (who wouldn't?). I have been so down with how some of my relationships have been headed, to the point that I literally get sick in the stomach when I think about it. I talked to my mom about it and, as usual, she gave me some great advice, which was, life is too short and I needed to live in the moment. If I am unhappy with something in my life then I needed to be proactive and change that today, rather than wait until tomorrow. This is great advice and I highly recommend it to everyone! Today I made the first step and did something that I had been putting off for MONTHS. I stopped by a good friends house to say hello. We haven't been in contact much for the past two years and I really missed her. It is so funny because I was so nervous to go over there....how silly! This was my good friend. My insecurities told me that she didn't need/want me as a friend anymore because I had been such a slothful friend lately. But as luck would have it she embraced me with open arms and we talked for a long time. I am so grateful that people can accept me for who I am and so grateful that my mom gave me such great advice... aren't mom's the best?!
So now I am back in the blogging world, so be prepared for some late posts that should have been done two weeks ago...oh well, better late than never, right?

Yippee, I have missed you, the clowns at the circus were getting too scary :) Sorry that things are going crazy right now, but your momma is absolutely right!! You must protect yourself and say no sometimes, otherwise life will eat you up! Things are a bit boring sometimes for us, but I find myself getting too stressed when there is too much going on, so sanity is better than busyness, I have concluded.
I love you and please call if you ever need to just talk, I am always here for you!
I'm glad you're back. I love that we can stay in contact this way. I hope you can work things out for the best. It's so hard to do it all.
welcome back- you've been missed!
It's nice to see you're back...why do you think I gave up $$$ teaching piano? Sometimes, it's just not worth it! Family must always come first. Once I realized that, I had no problem quitting. Life has been so much better and I am so much happier! I Hope you can find what makes you happy and we need to get together soon. I am working on my scrapbook room right now..busy, busy! Painting away. Take care! You can stop by my house too! Our family has been biking a lot lately. Maybe we can get ours together and go on a ride sometime.
How is my sweet friend? I'm back from my trip so please let's plan our game night okay? Now you just need to live in the moment of work, what is the next step girlie? I will even help you quit if that's the answer okay. Sure do love ya.
Yes, moms are awesome and your mom is so cool! Glad you are back to blogging! Come rock climbing on Friday with me, now that you don't have to work. :)
Great advice!! Gotta love your Mom! Well my friend, you have been putting off coming to my house for a LOOOOOONG time! Are you on your way? My arms are open!!!!! ;) tee hee. One day!
