Comfort

Hello (old and new) friends! 

 It's been such a long time since I've blogged! Blogging has been on my mind so much as it was something I enjoyed many, many moons ago. So the thought of coming back to blogging was like throwing on my favorite cozy sweater. It's familiar, warm, and comforting. I have decided to approach this year by taking on new endevours and returning to some that have been lost along the way. 

 As I mentioned, blogging is like throwing on something that is familar and comfortable. And if there is anything I long for in my life right now it's what is familiar and comforting. Since the last time of my regular blogging (several years ago), my life has been anything but comfortable. The last few years have been incredibly difficult not only for myself but my family and many dear friends as well. It seems like life for many has been flipped on its side. Then you throw in a PANDEMIC and it was easy to fall into patterns and routines that were set in motion just to merely get by. We've all struggled. We've all had heartache in one form another during these past few years. And many things that lay just under the surface, unrsolved and buried, have in many cases found a way to rise up, making a challenging time even more so. Cracks in foundations were enlarged or worse yet caused complete fractures. Emotional challenges worsened by isolation and separation. We've all felt it in some capcity or another. That is why I feel my heart aching for something that is familiar. Something that can help ease my heart's aching and maybe that of another along the way. 

 So throw on your favorite sweater or hoodie. Curl up in your favorite blanket. Grab a cup of tea or coffee and join me as I pursue a deeper understanding of this life. And maybe together we can discover we arent' alone, that life is beautiful, and that there is so much out there still discover. 

 Until next time....
