"I think I've discovered the secret of life - you just hang around until you get used to it." ~ Charles Schulz
Life is what has been happening to me these past years that I have not posted anything. When I last posted here I would never have dreamed of the direction my life took. I was a happy wife and mother of a beautiful 14 year old young girl who is now a beautiful young lady of 22. I am not, however, a happy wife. In fact, I am not a wife anymore.
Yes, I did the whole depression thing, for almost four years, but today I can honestly say I am almost 100%. Okay, 90%. I do want to stress one thing... if I ever hear anyone tell me "Better to have loved and lost than never have loved before," I swear, I will not only scream, but I will not hold back a punch to the nose of the offender.
But I do not want to recount the sadness of the past. I know that my daughter and I have come a long way and have managed to forget things. I would much rather talk of the main difference in my life. I am now a science-fiction fan! In fact, I am a huge "Doctor Who" fan since the 9th Doctor. I also love the British show "Torchwood", not the American version airing on Starz, of which I have only seen the first episode because it aired for free online.
Another change was my daughter's. She went to college as a bio-chem major and left UVM after 2 1/2 years because she was changing her major to Criminal Justice. I take credit for that. I introduced her to the show "NCIS" and it became the reason for her to change her career choice. I also got her hooked on "Law & Order: SVU".
This was a very brief and specific catchup of my life's past seven years but I have to get my groove going. For now, this is it.
"Forgiveness is not the misguided act of condoning irresponsible, hurtful behavior. Nor is it a superficial turning of the other cheek that leaves us feeling victimized and martyred. Rather it is the finishing of old business that allows us to experience the present, free of contamination of the past." ~ Joan Borysenko
