I am back!

After a fall break from blogging, I am ready to start writing again. The last three months have not been very beautiful for me overall, but even as I think about here as I write several good things have come out of a very difficult time.

• I am taking several months off from work to focus on my family. The knowledge that my family needs my full attention for a while came at a price, but I think it will be well worth it in the end.
• Because of the focus I have had at work they are willing to work with me and give me time off and let me come back next year part-time. This is great for our family because we can not afford to live on one income with Dilly's medical issues.
• I have been reading a myriad of health and nutrition books and am ready to focus on my health and get serious about improving my level of wellness so I can better keep up with all the demands of this busy life.
• I have begun the process to accept the fact that I can't handle being a full-time employee and be the mom that I need to be to my boys, the wife I want to be to my husband, and the friend that I want to be to others. I knew this was true, but somehow I thought if I worked hard enough at it I could overcome this part of me. It is time to embrace the simplicity that I crave and whittle away at the least important parts of my life and focus on the things that really matter to me.
