The Joy of Blogging

The year I discovered blog world was 2007.  Not much unlike Columbus' day, I had loads of trouble navigating it. Just as I began to sail smoothly through the hazards and pitfalls of this over the top fun world.  The real world called me back for help.  I'd always been involved with my son Daniel's schooling not only helping with homework and classroom helper duties but also is an active member of PTA.  In 2008, I was elected as PTA president at my son's high school. I'd been telling myself and everyone else that I wasn't ready for the responsibility.  Little did I know that once I arrived at the election meeting I would hear my name called to be voted on as president.  I could have said no way however at that moment I realized it was my turn to say yes.  What followed were two very busy years and a third as a phantom president whilst my husband served.  No one was waiting to take my place, my dear husband agreed to the post with a promise from me that I would be his presidential helper. With June of 2009 PTA duties over and Daniel preparing for college, my dear mom begun a steady decline in her health.  My mom lived alone and I had been giving her a helping hand for years.  However this past year was a very sad one.  My sweet mom passed away on April 18, 2010.  All the details of our journey together in her last year of life would take too many words to describe. I'm beginning to come out of the darkness of mourning my mom's death.  I'm rediscovering blog world.  I  love to read your blogs and hope that you will visit also...hugs
