Beginning Again

Hello all again!! Have been spot checking my blog and now feel ready and actually want to spend a bit of time blogging :) So I've been sucked into the myspace craze and have my own page... it's not pimped out but it's simple and me and I enjoy it. Plus there are a lot more people that I know on myspace. So check it out if you want and drop a comment... www.myspace.com/blessingswrae
Life in the new year is good. This is a year of healing and growth spiritually, mentally and physically. I'm in the process right now so am overwhelmed with the changes but my heart welcomes it with open arms and joy. I am unable to visualize the future, but just know intuitively that it is good...
Hope your new year is bringing you blessings and joy

Checking In

How the time is passing so quickly. Hard to believe that September is almost over. Am getting into the school routine. Both the kids are now in the same school which helps enormously for pick-up and drop-offs. Am loving my one on one time with Iz. Healing slowly but surely.
So I have a pout... I am tired of writing in a blog that it seems no one reads. And if they do read it they don't comment (which is really the only way I know someone is reading). So I am going to take an extended break from the blog world out there until I can once again find joy in blogging. So to the blog world out there, if there is one... ta-ta for now.
On-Out

News

Ahhh relief!! Went to the doctor on Wednesday; found out I have a pinched nerve in my neck and carpal tunnel in my right wrist. Am on anti-inflammatory meds and am happy to be on my road to recovery. Just knowing what and why I was in pain, getting the relief and support my body needs is priceless.
Am soo thankful that my pain and bodys dis-ease are not anything really, really serious. Both of these I can heal and bring my body back to ease.


School has started for M, she is doing wonderful and loves her new school :) She and her best friend are going to the same school, which hasn't happened since pre-school. Yea, joy, joy!

E starts school for the first time this coming Monday, he is excited and looking forward to learning. His teacher seems to be wonderful and excited about teaching. How fast our babies grow up... gonna miss him. But so happy he is ready for school.

Will have my first alone school year with Iz :) What a blessing!

Thank you Life

And Life Changes

I had to leave my job as a sweeper. My right arm has become stiff and almost immovable, my hand will claw up and it takes almost 3hrs just to get it to open and become something I can use. The pain is constant. I'm trying to not become absorbed by my pain and to rise above it... it's hard tho. Very hard. I have a high thresh hold for pain... but this constant pain wears on me.
Hangin in. Breathin.

13 Years

Hello my blogging world! I'm sitting here, chilling in my pj's after getting 6hrs of sleep, after working alllll night and I'm happy oh so happy. Today is our anniversary...13yrs and I love my man more with each passing day. It is amazing to me to see how far we've come and how we have succeeded. The journey was not easy... but then life isn't easy, nor should it be. Our first couple years (2yrs) we're filled with the glow of 'ohh we're married' after that the reality of growing up and moving through life hit us... then we really had to learn how to keep going even when we were so tired of trying. So many things get in the way; emotions, life problems but instead of those defeating us we rose above them and became stronger. Becoming better friends, people and lovers in the process. After about year 9, it's just been golden. We have our communication down and we understand and accept eachother as we are. That is priceless.
So to my best friend, my lover, my husband...
Thank you, thank you for 13 wonderful years and I am looking forward to our years to come.
Luf, luf, luf you.

Home Again

Had a most wonderful vacation. Got to see all my family; was like a big sponge soaking up the love. Found out some sad news while I was down there; a long time family friend died in March...I am still grieving it. My intuition was telling me that someone had died...but I choose to hope that perhaps I would make it down before it happened. It is another example of how precious life is and how important it is to tell the people that we love that we do love them. You never know how much time you have left.
That was the theme of my vacation...."Where has the time gone." It had been almost 5yrs since the last time I was in my birth town, all the babies that I held were all grown up and little kids now. It was a bit of a shock. How fast time has seemed to fly. Everyone was a bit older, a bit grayer. It was an emotional trip; lots of laughter and tears.
Thank you brothor for bringing me back home. I love you!!

Yea!! Vacation!!

Hello all my lovelies out there :)
Soooo happy to have you reading LBS... and you will always be.

Ok so earlier in the year my most wonderful man told me he would take 2 weeks of leave so I could go on vacation and get a chance to get out of the AK, and I AM!! :D
My most excellent brothor bought me a ticket to visit my birth home of Sioux Falls for 13 days. I am SO happy to be going. I've missed home and all my family that live there. Can't wait to visit. I leave the 18th... only 13 days to go!!
