Out With The Old ...In With The New

Inside the store


It has been a long time since I have had anything to say. Well that isn't true ...just ask anyone within earshot of me. It has been a rough 15 months ...starting with the unexpected death of my mom and all the crap that followed. I thought by starting this here journal soon after her death, I might find some comfort in sharing, if only with myself, the experience but it became clear that living the moments were bad enough ...regaling them here would have surely sent me to an early grave.

But we are at the eve of a new year and life is moving forward. I am back from Vancouver after satisfying my executor duties. My store is back open and doing fabulous. I am enjoying my friends, my life and what is left of the family worth having a relationship with. I am going to give this journal thing another chance because now ...I have something to say worth writing about here. To me anyway.
