I am trying to come out from under the proverbial rock that has been lodged on top of me for the past one month and one day. If you aren't privy to what I'm referencing, don't freak out. Hubby and I are healthy. Kids are healthy. Dog is healthy. I will leave it at that. In the interest of trying not to bash, I will simply say that it has been a tough couple months. I have cried, I have screamed, I have prayed and I have tried to understand. I don't know that I will ever come to grips with some of the events that have taken place, but I know this.....until my last breath, I will attempt to learn something from every single event in this life. Listed below are some of the things I have learned (in no particular order) in my life........

I am grateful to have been given the gift of gab. Were it not for that, I'd lead a pretty boring life.
