Grounded.....

I'm back...recovered...
like a bad alcoholic that can't believe they escaped the ordeal, only to know that they can be pulled back in by one sweet whiff of melancholy.

But seriously, I'm back on the wagon, promising myself that I will post more, learn how to link on my blog and expand my readership because it seems that I am quite popular with the Chinese porn crowd, as they keep posting unsolicited comments on one particular post. And those folks out there with a giraffe fetish? Seriously, stop it.

Once again life and it's rewards has grounded me and made me come back to this place where I display my pain, my joy and my insecurities with a bit of wayward dreamer built in...you know, just to keep things interesting. My daughters and I have been busy. Busy with life, getting on with the business of balancing Basketball, homework and long division. Dressing up for school book character days and offering strangers lightweight remorse disguised as Girl Scout cookies.

I look forward to better weather to go ride our bikes on mountain trails that challenge us to pick up our pace or stay out of the game, looking forward to the slap, slap of a paddle on the river. Here's hoping you are well too.....
