SHE'S BACK!
Hi everyone! *laughs* And just in time for Bastille Day!
Viva la revolution!
Yes, I am back! Back, from taking a much needed break/rest and putting aside everything that was not necessary in order to concentrate on what really mattered at the time (it still does matter very much as I write this now).
Before I go any further, I want to state loudly my undying gratitude and love for Liam and Lynn who 'manned the fort' while I was away. They did a spectacular job.
I would like to allow them to continue on. I know Liam is going back to his blog. I hope Lynn will continue to contribute here. This was a very nice change for DOCG.
A lot has happened to me, kids.
Some things are better, some things are worse, some things have not changed.
With my son - I believe we've come to a point where we both understand each other a little better. He respects me a bit more and I him - for you can't push your kids into things when they are almost 18 - you can lay down the law and I have, but lovingly, firmly, and allowing for mistakes. He in turn has begun communicating with me again the way we used to and even tells me he loves me again.
That was the major impetus for my leaving the blog.
With my daughter it's another story. I shan't share it at this point. There's nothing to really say. Just pray, everyone pray for her, for her well-being and health and that of my grandchildren.
In other news...
I AM DATING!
Honest-to-Goddess dating!!!!
I want to run into the streets yelling and shout it from the roof tops cause it's a joyous time in my life indeed. I have not been this happy in I can not tell you when. It's frightening as well. I mean in that heart-racing, 'I can't think and I can't eat and I don't know which end is up' sort of way. I feel like I am falling and on a roller coaster ride at the same time. It is incredible.
It happened 'out of the blue' I threw out the rule book and decided to take the bull by the horns. I can't believe I actually did what I did. Stop looking at me like that! I know I come across as bold and throwing caution to the wind, but in matters of the heart, MY heart that is, I was just frozen.
And now, I am melting, and blushing, and Goddess you have no idea.
I will not be writing about this other than what you are reading here. I DO have a place where I have been 'journaling' this and if you want to know, you have to ask. Don't just assume I am going to allow you access either. (Keep in mind, I am still the old Colette to some extent).
The blog is going to probably change a little too. I am probably not going to be posting all the time. I am not saying content or my usual cantankerous self is going to become suddenly 'light and airy' but with a bit of a new outlook on life it may very well colour my world...
It's good to be back.
Thanks for continuing to read while I was gone. Help me convince Lynn to keep writing too.
A bientot mes amis
In light and love,
Colette
