The first three blogs I read were all by women that made me smile and or laugh as they shared something fun - something non-related to the usual stuff.
So thanks Sherry for your dating adventures (we should write a book for women over 40 dating online....and how not to bother!), Lisa for your road trip to the Mojave, and Club 33 and Annette for the knitting club.
i wish i could turn back the clock and freeze time
PS
I was thinking of combing my blogs again instead of trying to keep up with two, but when I took a poll over a year ago on my other blog if people would prefer not to hear about all the depressing stuff related to Kev and his addiction, they all many politely said "yes, you need a separate blog for that". That's when I started a blog called "Needle and the Damage Done". I changed the name to "Recovery Happens" when my son started to show signs of.... recovery!
Sometimes I feel like I am a MPB (multi-personality-blogger) and I am kind of tired of it. I appreciated the ladies above reminding me I can write about any topic here....but I still think I will keep the two blogs for now.
PSS
For right now, things are calm here. Keven let me hug him and I reminded him that he's gotten through tougher times and this too will pass - he just has to hang on tight. I used the analogy of when I taught him how to Boogie Board when he was 6, if you let go the wave will take you under, toss you around and could possibly drown you, but if you HOLD ON TIGHT and DON'T Let Go, you will stay on top. Of course at age 6 I never let him go way the hell in the ocean out there by himself, I waited till he was 7 for that :)
Peace, Hope and Love,
Barbara

I have been reading and thinking of you all day today...just wanted you to know. I am keeping you both in my prayers. Super cute picture and I like the lesson about holding on tight, so hold on tight;)
You sound lighter which is good. Keep your spirit in good condition no matter what Keven does. That is true serenity.
I wish there was some magic words..I can not imagine going through what you are...I know I went through my addiction when I was 30-32...lots of money - a job - friends - and two years gone from my life...but to have to watch my son go through it would kill me.

I agree with Dad and Mom - if the other followers don't want to read a particular post that is depressing - they don't have to. Our lives are a mix of ups and downs.
The picture of Keven is great and you did freeze that moment in time to always go back to if you want! I'm glad things are better today!
What a beautiful picture.
Your Boogie board analogy almost made me cry.Thank you for sharing.
Don't know whether you've settled this issue in your mind or not (to maintain two blogs, etc) ... I go through the same thing all the time! There are some issues that I want to delve into in my blog, which is basically a "life" blog ... then sometimes I hold back, thinking that "some" readers might not want to hear those depressing facts or those specific topics, etc. Also, I would love if I had a one-topic blog with more of a single "voice." But so far, I'm driven just to share whatever happens on the one blog, so it's just a diary of my life, and that makes ME happy. Whatever you do, just make sure it's what is working for YOU and helpful for YOU ... I think those are some of the main reasons we blog and, in being true to our purposes, are able to help each other here!
