Dear Blogger,

Oh how I’ve missed thee.  For months now you have been my release.  You’ve been there for me when I felt as though no one else was; never have you given me the feeling that I needed to turn to anyone else.  I hated being away from you for so long.  Life has a way of throwing curve balls and whenever I share those “curve balls” with you I am forced to face reality and deal with the issues. I needed to be back in the state of denial for a short time but now that I am out of that state, I am turning back to you.

We are officially starting a new chapter in my life; I’m unsure of where this will go and how it will end; there is still so much to learn.  New characters will be introduced in this next chapter while other may or may not return.  It will be interesting, challenging, totally unpredictable, and intense.

It is going to be frightening; I’m scared.  I have no idea what to do, what to expect and who will be there.  We are headed for another life altering challenge…

Praying for strength, hope, understanding, and patience for myself and those around me.

Maria
