Looking out my wide front windows this morning I can see mounds of fluffy white landscape, snow draped trees, and the stillness of a country morning.
It's beautiful and quiet.
If I wasn't so familiar with the frozen kiss of winter on my skin, it would almost be inviting.
After a whirlwind morning of flying school lunches, messy yogurt-faced breakfasts and bartering for just one more kiss, the kids skipped down the icy driveway to school. Watching them step onto that bus never fails to fill my heart and mind with a million emotions and thoughts.
Hello There!
It's been a while!
I wanted to take a little time to explain my disappearance. It's nothing big. I have no dramatic exit story for you. I just faded out a bit. I got caught up in the chaos of life, which I'm sure you're not unfamiliar with.
I added another tiny human to our collection of messy haired blonde monsters, I started my own business, and to top it off I started working my old job again. So there was and still is lots going on. I love it all though. All the work and busyness, all the time with people and feeling useful. It's been a lovely ride, even if it is a constant rollercoaster ride, and not the quiet backcountry, Sunday morning kind of ride.
But oh how I've missed this.
Writing has always been my safe place, my comfort zone, my sweet spot. Even in the pages and pages of notebooks and journals, that only my eyes have seen, there is great joy in each word.
I want to write more.
I want to be here for anyone who will take the time to read any of my ramblings. I appreciate you. I appreciate your time. There's not a whole lot to this post. I really just wanted to say hi and to get my fingers back on the keys again, even if they don't create anything significant or thought-provoking.
It just feels good to be back.
