We Only Part to Meet Again

I love that quote in the heading.  I wrote it down one time but forgot to write who actually quoted it.  It doesn't really matter I suppose, unless he or she by some miracle stumbles across this blog and says "Hey, she didn't give me recognition for my original quote."  And if that should happen I would probably still forget to give you recognition because I would just be impressed you some how stumbled across my blog.

Anyway.

I have always said if I didn't write on my blog for a couple of weeks with no notice that I was on holidays or taking a break, I was probably dead.  I'm not dead.  I'm very much alive but have nothing to say.  Yes, apparently hell has frozen over and pigs have learned to fly because Joy is finally at a loss for words.

I mean I have a lot to say, but nothing I want to write on here.  Nothing bad even, just thoughts and feelings.  Lots of thoughts and feelings.  This would be the Joy you don't know.  The one who is extremely private.  It's one thing to share recipes and other things that were pretty innocent on here, but divorce?  Won't happen.

Someone wrote to me how shocked she was and how devastated she was for my entire family.  She also asked if I could see any good come out of all this.  I never wrote back....er sorry....but I never hesitated in thinking...absolutely there is good in all this!

For one, my children.  Always my children.  I thought it was impossible to be closer to them, but here we are at the impossible.  It really doesn't matter what happens from here on out, their kindness and love alone is enough.  Good grief they are amazing children.

For another?  I finally woke up.  To a lot of things.  And that's all I'm going to say about that except....I love that I woke up.

I've always been a big believer that the good thing about life is, it gives us another opportunity to do things right.  Right now, the right thing to do for my blog is say good-bye for awhile.  I love writing on it too much to shut it down, but you will understand when I say I have more important things on my mind right now.

To those who continue to email and chat on facebook?  I love each and every one of you.  Seriously.  I'm not just saying that.  We wouldn't be human beings if we didn't go through life having to deal with some sort of tragedy or sadness in our years on this earth and I hope I can be there for you like you have been here for me.  To those who continue to reach out, you are good people and your kindness will come back to you tenfold.

Thanks to Andrea for alerting me to some of the comments on here. I wrote the post and haven't been back til now.

I think it's time to delete all comments on this post though. I haven't done that since I started this blog, but it needed to be done.

To those who are waiting on the flip side when all this is over? You're the best. It will be awhile until I'm back but I have enjoyed this blog too much to shut it down.

For those who keep emailing wondering how I'm doing and if I'm surviving? I'm surviving. As a matter of fact...well...

I've been given a second chance for a new beginning and I don't plan on missing one second of it this time around. Once I am settled in my new life, A Spot of T will begin again.

Much Love
