due to technical difficulties beyond my control

The encore of the dancing bear  

When I started writing this blog six months or so ago, I remember comparing myself to a dancing bear, doing a soft shoe to entertain you.  Amazingly, 190 blogs later, I’m still dancing.  And with any luck…you’re still reading.

It has been an interesting journey we’re on.  I’ve gone through fun times, and goofy times, hysterically funny times and tragically sad times.  But I haven’t gone through them alone, I feel as if you’ve been with me every step of the way, laughing at the funny, and cheering me on when I need it. 

Aside from being a writer who just needs to write, I am also a wife and mother who often times needs advice and guidance from my peers.  Remember, life isn’t for the faint of heart.  Life requires a little bit more work than many of us were expecting.  Especially those of us with teenagers.  God bless the people with small children who have no idea what they’re in for.   So I’m grateful that I have such wise readers, with such good advice. 

Thank you!

Here’s to better times right around the bend.  Here’s to surviving the teenage years on our second go round—as if it wasn’t hard enough to go through them ourselves.  And here’s to lots more blogging to come.  Let’s home the next 6 months are just as interesting, but twice as funny!

Until the next time…I’ll be dancing my way through another day!
