Haven't blogged in many months. As many of you know the end of last year and the beginning of this year have been kind of rough for the
Afflerbaugh/
Youngblood/
Dohoda households. I've been feeling very 'blah' lately and am having a hard time getting out of my funk. Starting December 20
th we've had Grandma pass away, thus losing my job, Nick left for a Christmas vacation at his mom's in WA and decided to stay, Grandma's memorial and burial, mom and Maggie got attacked by two pit bulls, and I've been sick for two weeks. Between Nick being in Washington with him mom and Grandma passing away I am getting a little taste of what empty
nesters must feel. I went from being on the go nearly 20 hours a day to having more time on my hands than I know what to do with. Never thought I'd be sad to have free time. I once gave a friend some advice when he was having a bout of depression. When he asked how do I feel better I responded: 'You don't wait to feel better to do things. You do things and then you feel better'......we'll see if my advice works.
That being said, among other things, I've decided to start blogging again. I need something to fill my time and empty my mind. Since it's Sunday I'll start up again with my Sunday Blessings, things that I am thankful for and blessings that I've received/witnessed.
Sunday Blessings:
- Having the time to be a wife again.
- Sharing special moments with my daughter lately; from going to the museum to simply listening to her laugh as she plays in the backyard.
- Gianna reminding me not to be sad about Grandma because 'she can see her up in Heaven'.
- Rain
- The Olympics
- My overall health
- Good friends and wonderful family
Take time to appreciate the little things in life!
