Did that seem like a weird place to stop? Well it was, because I couldn't figure out how to get back to it or how to edit it. Sorry for anyone who is paying attention to spelling and/or grammar. Some blogger I am, huh?

Looking back on that time is painful. How had I gone so far away from where I came from. How had I been so blind? I was so wrong about so many things. Looking at my life as a whole at that time I felt as though I had no clue how to live life. I think maybe that was when I started to become an adult. So I was going to be 40 and I had a very messy life to clean up.

Long story short I lost a lot of weight. How? I don't eat as much. We ended up selling the house in Pennsylvania to get out from under our own little sub-prime mess thanks to a good job offer for my husband. We moved to Sioux City, Iowa. We bought a house we can afford. We don't buy things unless we have the money. I learned that my children don't need things to have a good childhood. I learned how to love myself again. I learned my value, the value of many things. It sounds like a happy ending, it's not. It's just the beginning. Welcome to my blog. Oh, and being 40 rocks!

40 has changed me. In the best possible sense. I used to be so certain, now not so much. I think that's when real growth occurs.
