New Start

Several of my friends have begun to blog again due to major events in their lives.  One friend had a baby and another lost his father.  If you have read any of my previous posts you know that many entries dealt with the problems that I have doing this on a constant basis.  As I get older and continue to become more fixed in my ways, I need to find ways to keep from becoming the hermit that I SO easily could become.  This blog for me is one small part of that plan.

I have spent much of the summer (OK a few days) painting at both my parent's house and mine.  I have to admit I really like painting walls because of the almost instant gratification you get and how good even a bad paint job can look (Not that I complete bad paint jobs).  Besides these small changes in my surroundings, for the last year having been quiet, there have been many other changes.  My cat of many years Katie died last year and right before she had passed I had brought a 3rd cat into my home who as it turns out has his own medical problems.  I received a much deserved promotion at work.  We hired 2 new fellows to my team at work and even tomorrow we all move to new desks.  Throughout these small changes, those around me swirled with what seems like constant problems of one kind or another.  While not a religious person I do say a small thanks to whomever keeps me out of that swirl.

Facebook has become quite a fascination as I find and connect with people from all parts of my life and family.  I  think this is a good thing and has also re-whetted my appetite for genealogy.

So long story short, I should have much to share with people on this blog and will once again strive to keep it updated.


hugs,
