The truth shall set you free

A friend of mine who still apparently reads my blog commented that he'd figured out, a quiet Barbie girl = a happy Barbie girl. And it's the truth.

I've found a happiness, contentment and peace with my life that I had forgotten was possible. Or didn't know was possible.  Quite frankly, I don't think I have ever been so at peace with life ever.  And it's not about having someone, though I know he plays a part in this, it's about for the first time maybe ever, me truly loving who I am.  Accepting life and ready to face anything thrown my way.  Not allowing myself to dwell on what could happen but to embrace and love the now.  To live life for what is happening today.  And let me tell you, it works.

The last three years have been one hell of a roller coaster ride.  A ride at times, I didn't handle very well.  But I wouldn't go back and change a thing.  It's all led me to today.  To where I am.  To my peace.  To my happiness.  It's made me realize, things aren't, always going to be rosy.  There are going to be twists and turns, but I'm better prepared to handle them. Because at the end of the day all that matters is that I have a roof over my head, food to eat and people who love me unconditionally.  What more could I ask for?

BG: New and Improved

 Barbie girl here. It's been a while huh? Since I last posted in October, 2021 a lot has changed. My father passed away. I've gotten my heart broken, again. I had major surgery and lost over 100 pounds. I've had some really hard, honest, raw conversations with myself. Grew closer with my family. Grew closer with my children. Learned to love myself once and for all. The Grief Papa Barbie passed away in February, 2022.  It was the single, most difficult thing I have ever faced. He was my hero. The one who taught me to love baseball. The one who taught me how to do things. The one who taught me to drive on back roads of Wayne County.  It was somewhat unexpected, but he had been battling health issues for some time. He was home, in his favorite chair, just exactly where he would have wanted to be.  We suspected it was closing in on us because he started talking to family members who had passed in the months leading up to his death. My family and my sister's family had be...

Is it just me?

I know I'm alone in this one, I love the snow.  I freaking love it.  The minus degree temps, not so much, but I do, I love it.  Now don't get me wrong, if I lived in New England I have no doubt, I'd be quite over it by now.  But I don't live there, I live here, so damnit I'm going to enjoy it. Which brings me to the reason for my post.  Apparently I am the only parent in the history of the world who never minded being stuck at home with my child.  I loved snow days.  I loved the snuggling and watching movies or cartoons all day.  And even now, I was a little sad I didn't have my Barbie Jr. with me the past few days.  She's with her dad this week and I've been snowed in.  She usually does her own thing when she's at home but I still missed her. So when you start to complain, this kid is driving me crazy, or I must get away from him/her/them, remember, they grow up.  Life is short.  Enjoy them while you have them.  And m...
