It’s Been A While

Have you ever felt as if you had been in hibernation?  Perhaps you had an illness or a death in your family.  Someone in your family was suffering from a serious illness.  You had a big setback at work and it took you a while to recover.  Any major happening in your life can cause a setback, a period when you can’t seem to move forward.  Sometimes even a happy happening like the birth of a baby can make you feel as if you’ve gone into hibernation.That’s the way I feel right now.  I’ve been in hibernation, and now I’m coming out and ready to start developing new ideas again.

Two years ago last October one of my best friends received a diagnosis of incurable cancer.  I was with her when she got the diagnosis, when she learned she probably had two years to live.  Last November, almost two years to the day, she lost her battle with cancer.  She had fought hard and valiantly, until there were no more options.  The last three months she was living with me and I managed her health care.  For more than a year, I had been involved with doctor visits, hospital visits, and finally managing her care completely.

I was shocked when I realized I hadn’t even entered anything in my blog since May 30, 2008, almost 10 months ago.  Wow!

Now I’m out of hibernation and full of ideas again that I’ll be sharing with you.  Stay tuned.
