A New Chapter

It's been a rough year or two. 

It's been a rough year or two for a lot of people. I'm not alone in this, I know. It seems like many of the people we know personally have been struggling the last 24 months, and I don't know how to help any of us. 

There's been a lot of collateral damage to the hard times, and one of those, while very minor in comparison, has been my desire to write. I've said before how one of the best things I can do for myself is writing. It's like cheap therapy, but I've almost completely given it up in the past months. It's time to take up the virtual pen again and get back at it. Somehow though, it didn't seem right to just jump back into my old blog. So much has changed. I've changed. Our lives have changed. We're headed into an all new, frightening, exciting chapter, and I felt like maybe that deserved it's own new, fresh place to start. 

So, here we are. A new chapter. A new blog. A new outlook. Because I need it. These chapters in my life will not always be pretty. Sometimes they will be blotted, smudged, and damn near illegible. They won't always be positive, because life isn't, and while I will try to find the ability to make something resembling lemonade with the lemons we get handed, sometimes it will just be mediocre water. With seeds. That's real, and I won't apologize for it. I hope, though, that the chapters will come together to make an amazing story, and that the lemonade will end up being the best damn pitcher anyone's ever had. 

With some seeds.
