More than 3 years since I wrote in this blog. Oops, sorry. I’d say life happened and that’s both true and untrue. Because while a lot of life has happened, I’ve struggled many a times with what I’m doing (or not doing) with MY life.
So here’s a very abbreviated version of what I’ve been up to for the last 3 years:
- That baby in my belly I wrote about last time is now almost 3. It’s a girl so we now have two girls (and the then 2 year old is now almost 6!) and a crazy golden retriever.
- During maternity leave – which was definitely not as peaceful as the first time with the fact that I was recovering from an unplanned c-section and also dealing with COVID closures of daycare, I got a new job where I work from home (yay!!)
- I sort of lost myself, sort of found myself, lost myself again…it’s an ongoing thing.
That leads me back to this blog. Truthfully, I thought I had deleted it/cancelled my subscription and then realized I hadn’t (thanks to an automatic bill renewal email!). I thought, well let’s try this thing again. Maybe I’ll find something I’m looking for. Maybe some sort of passion will be reignited in me. Because frankly, I’ve been doing a lot of living for two little ones the past several years and not a lot of living for me. Which I know is typical of parents of babies and toddlers. They sort of lose themselves along the way. So I’m trying to find myself again. Or maybe, find the pieces of my old self I liked and pair it with stuff my new self that I like.
I hope you’ll follow along with me on this journey – and hopefully my next entry won’t be in 3 more years but I can’t make any promises – I am after all, a work in progress.
