Under Construction

Oh...this is how it starts...lightening strikes the heart...sings Colby Calliat.  This isn't a blog to discuss song lyrics, although that would be a fun post (jotting down in my "good ideas" notebook).  They'll happen.  Just how my brain works.

I'm starting this blog as a healing adventure.  Healing.  Anyone else know how it feels to need to heal? Of course you do...whether it's a skinned knee or a broken relationship.  Healing needs to take place.

See...I think i got a double whammy.  After years of therapy, romantic get-aways, late night talks, I realized my marriage was kaput.  I was headed for a D.I.V.O.R.C.E.  Ugh.

Just two months after signing off from a 20 year relationship, my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer...that took most of her organs hostage.

Broken Heart.  Big fat ugly one. Sigh.

I can recite all of the platitudes.  God doesn't close a door without opening a window.  Or...everything happens for a reason.  Or...love stinks. 

Not in a million years did I imagine myself renting a house, part time parenting, working at a coffee shop (well...maybe that part) and loving a coupla fur babies.  Wha.....t? 

But.  I'm starting to See.  Sometimes it is Suddenly.  Sometimes it's slooooooow.  Life works out.

Please don't think this will only be a weepy chic blog.  We're gonna talk about other stuff.  Parenting.  Dating in your 40s. Wine. Dogs. Friends.  Coffee. Writing.  Stay tuned!

Anyone else wanna talk about their own healing journey?  Or just say "hi"? Leave a comment.  Or lurk.  No sweat.
