Long time, no see (er...post)

2012 was my last post. This is 2018. To say that the past six years have been tumultuous is a serious understatement. I owe this blog a few explanations, but the short version is my husband of 38 years succumbed to liver failure as a result of alcoholism and my life was a jumbled up mess of chaos. In the middle of his descent, I had to have hip replacement surgery, which killed my dreams of ever running a 50K. Just this past spring, my only sister died from addiction too. Drugs and alcohol are never good choices my friends. Rick died in 2016. 2017 was my own recovery year. 2018 I'm back. I'm giving thought to restructuring this blog, and retargeting it. I might rename it, I might start a new one. Not sure. Lots to write about, especially about how I got my feet under me after so much personal trauma. I'm stronger and more confident now than I ever was, and funny how it takes death and trauma to make you realize just how short life is, and how precious it is. Once I figure out how to move the blog forward, I'll be back!
