Waking Up From a Nightmare....

Have you ever gone through an experience that feels like your never going to get out of it? One you feel trapped in and don't quite know how to make it stop? Yeah, I've been doing that for the past year or so....but in the last few months the situation has become extreme...

When I finally decided to say enough and remove myself from the situation I realized that I had been sleepwalking through my life. Instead of moving away I was stuck.

Now that things are settling down and I have time to look around I realize that the photo of my life is still slightly out of focus but all the main players are still here. I am AWAKE....

And oh boy, do things look differently to me now. I want to sing, music sounds so good to me now that I am constantly humming and whistling. Everything I see I want to photograph and I'm even playing with manual mode on my camera. Most of all, I want to WRITE. It's been a long time since I've felt that I had anything worthwhile to write that wasn't grumping and complaining, now I realize I have to find those things.

I have a husband who loves me (and believe me, that is a miracle), a daughter who is growing up way to fast, a beautiful roof over my head, a nice camera to take pictures with, good and helpful friends and family...and so much more to be thankful for....so, while I may not be posting every day, I will be back here more often....promise.
