Finding the New Normal?

I knew I hadn't posted in a while, but I didn't realize how long. A comment from Nicole has been rattling around in my head and made me think I should not continue to neglect my blog.

You see, December was more than I could handle gracefully and January was the aftermath. It's February now and I'm trying to get into a sustainable groove. Life has considerably slowed down, for which I am grateful, but now I'm left with trying to figure out what to add back in to my schedule and which items really should be left out.

This winter weather has been hard for me. The darkness of the sky coupled with the darkness of my wood shutters has led to a lot of discouraging days. I am making my best efforts to pick myself up and be my best self. It's hard. Oh my, it's so hard.

I've done a few projects and have good intentions of posting them here. Maybe it will happen yet. Isaac's room is nearly complete. Sarah's is pink, though not a pink I like. I've finally organized my messy kitchen drawers. Things are ever so slowly coming along. I've got big plans in my head. We'll see which of them really happen. Our yard is one huge thing to be tackled...hopefully starting this spring.

So that's how things are here. FYI, I haven't been reading other people's blogs at all. I sort of holed up to recover. We'll see how much of that I add back in...
