Welcome Back!

Perhaps you should be telling me that! I can't believe it's been three months since my last blog!!! It seems time has stopped...and picked up again three months later. I also find it fascinating that I blog most during thunder storms than any other time! I guess that's good?

So what possessed me to blog? Not sure. Perhaps it been a while since I've put my thoughts out in journal format...or perhaps, once again, things are changing at an alarming rate and I need this blog to really process it all.

Shutterbug and I are going strong! VERY strong. And I couldn't be happier! It's great to know what true love is...and I marvel at each moment we cherish.

Grandma is still kicking...not as strong as she was, and definitely in another world, but it amazes me that despite severe dementia, her true colors still shine. It makes me think about people in general, and all the dumb pyschology that gets in the way. The 'need' to make a point. The 'need' to be right. It's all non-sense. Whe you strip away all the politics and motives in the world, you have to ask yourself "Who are we?"

As with every year around this time, everyone starts to get on everyone's nerves. The micro-managing begins, as well as back-stabbing and confrontations. What was once a common goal, is now a deal-breaker. It breaks my heart to see it this way...however, I often feel I'm the only one who takes the step back to see it. And when I do, I see the same problems people vowed to change last year, and forget some where between June and September.

I've made a point this time to not forget, and hopefully be proactive NOW, so that parts of this cycle can break. Call me the eternal optimist, but I'm hoping the changes keep coming...
