Learning my way...

I really have wondered if all my thoughts have been sucked out of me...I'm blank.

I haven't really known what to blog about lately.  I guess that is a good thing...I'm starting to live again.

I don't need my blog the way I did before...it was one of the only ways I could relieve the pressure building.  Now I am not feeling that push to write at least about my struggles.

I suppose that means I should start writing about happy things...

Hmm...

Maybe I'm just one big drama queen and can't express myself in any other way.

Hope that's not it.

I have been pushing myself a lot more lately to do what I want...not just what gets me by.

I went to the movies last week because my kids and I were feeling blue.  It was a nice change of pace...instead of grabbing ice cream and feeling sorry for myself.

On the way home today the sky was amazing.  I tried to take a picture with my phone but it did not capture the beautiful small rainbow reflecting off a huge gleaming light.

It was a cheerful sight.  Bryce even commented about it.  I thought to myself as I continued home, "That's much better."

It feels good to have a break sometimes.  Grief feels like a full time job...I needed a vacation!

I have really felt the healing start to happen lately as I have tried to find my way.  I'm slow...and really frustrated that I'm not progressing better, but I am getting there.  I am glad for the baby steps...though they are agony sometimes.

All in all, we're doing better.  I actually feel like I can breathe...seriously.  My lungs have felt like a ten pound brick had been placed there...not pleasant.

It's a nice change.
