A life update....

I am still around and actually have read a few blogs in the last week.  Thanks so much for the kind words and support regarding my sister Rhonda's health.  She is home from the hospital and receiving both radiation and chemo treatments.  Her attitude is good and she is very calm.  I wish I could say the same for myself, but I am improving.  It seems that this event has brought forth some really icky feelings that still lurked inside of me, most harking back to the time when both my folks were declining and there was so very much to deal with.

I'm getting better though and slowly working through what I need to in order to function normally.  Sometimes life can really surprise you.  You think that you know how you'll react to something and then - boom - you don't feel or act at all as you expect.  Fortunately, I have a very, very supportive husband and a good counselor that I have returned to.  She helped me in so many ways several years ago when my mother and father were so ill. 

My husband and I are going to take a trip to our favorite oasis in the desert, Scottsdale, Arizona.  I look forward to relaxing there and visiting a great bookstore and perhaps being able to see a few blogging friends.  I'll take a few pictures and read some books.  We'll be away from all the worries for a little bit and then I'll be back here, refreshed and renewed. 

So, see you about mid-March.  Don't have too much fun without me!
