Well, its been a while since my fingers pounded these keys and I miss it. About a year and a half ago, I found myself in a situation where I couldn't disclose the thoughts, issues, concerns that I was dealing with. It was nothing shameful or sinister...just an impending move that I didn't want my employer, landlord, or anyone, for that matter, to find out about prematurely. I found myself giving up on my blog for the sole reason that I could not therapeutically write as I had done before because my thoughts were consumed with our relocation and all the changes that go along with that process.
About the time that I decided I needed to change the title of my blog, since I have now been living in my hometown of Pine Bluff, AR for the past year, the title may need to remain the same. There may be an impending move yet again.
Alex's job here in Pine Bluff didn't work out, Jacob went from attending (in my opinion) the "Harvard" of special needs schools to attending, well let's just say there is no comparison, and Alex's father past away in March. For all these reasons, and more, Alex is trying to find a job in Southern California where his mom lives.
So here we are again, in the midst of being unsettled, not knowing what the future holds...an all too familiar feeling for us. But we will persevere, and maybe now I can use this blog to process it all. There is something about seeing my words in black and white that gives me perspective. I hope it can do me some good.
