Better late than never......

Well, I've been a serious slacker. It's been well over two years since I have written a blog and I would like to change that today. I have a lot of time to cover, so much I want to write about for my own personal remembrance. Most will not make a difference or mean anything to anyone other than myself, but in reality, this is for Me.

I will start with yes; I gained back all of the weight I lost on WW and an additional 10 pounds. I will touch on that another day. 😭

I have to say, 2022 can kick rocks. It was a year of such great loss. In August, my daughter lost her best friend/cousin/confidant and my nephew at the age of 31 to Muscular Dystrophy. He was the most amazing human being she/I have ever known. They were born just a little over a month apart and I cant remember a time when they weren't side by side at family gatherings. They talked almost daily, messaged on Facebook, texted and were so very close. My daughter will forever struggle with the loss as the entire family will.

In September we lost our beloved cat Jack Jack. Most would say he was just a cat but oh no, Jack wasn't. He was so much more. He was my baby. He knew who momma and sissy were and what he could get out of each. He was the most beautiful Blue Russian and/or British short hair cat with mesmerizing eyes. He was only 2 years old and I don't know if I will ever get over losing him.  😿

To add to the hurt, two good friends took their own lives in 2022. I know there's times in our lives when we feel so low that we think that's the answer, but it's not. I know this personally because I remember a time when I thought that might be the answer for me. Even though life isn't what we dreamed of, suicide isn't the answer. Seek help, talk to a friend, family. Please, please, get help. I will close with two quotes I found. I think they say everything I cant. 

      “Your life is not over. Your life is important. Don't take your beauty from the world.” — Unknown 

      “Place your hand over your heart, can you feel it? That is called purpose. You're alive for a reason so don't ever give up.”— Unknown
