You know, I maintained a blog on LiveJournal for, gosh, 5 or 6 years. Why I can’t do it now is a mystery to me.

Too much has happened to catch up in only a post or two. Struggling with what amounts to a full-blown (late) mid-life crisis. Even I’m not sure if I would be able to handle all the change I’m dishing out to those around me.

Bottom line is that I’ve realized life is short, I do owe some people a lot, but no one owns my life or my freedom. I can’t change people who will not change. I can surround myself with people who make me happy and if I can’t, I can go looking for them.

Recently visited with my best girlfriend from high school who reminded me that I was never the person I grew up to be – so very correct, orderly, always following every rule to the letter. She helped me remember that I was once much wilder, more accepting, and free.

I’m finding that me again.
