Out of Sight, Out of Mind or Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder?

LimitlessLessons

My life revolves around teaching lessons of some sort. Whether it was in my role as an Elementary School Counselor for eleven years, my current role working with kiddos and administrators K-12, mom to two young adults, or owner of two spoiled chocolate labs, I teach lessons all day long. But the most valuable lessons taught on a daily basis, are those taught to me; by my students, by my children, by my dogs, and sometimes even by strangers! And that's what this blog is all about...those limitless lessons that come out of nowhere, but stay with you forever.

In the case of this blog, it's definitely the latter!!

It's been almost a year since I last posted and my domain has been off line for the past month, but in the last year I have had over 60,000 visits to my page...WHAT?!? So thank you for sticking with me and continuing to be interested, even as I was wrestling with where to go with this blog and more importantly where to go with my writing.

My life is no different than each of yours...an exciting, yet terrifying roller coaster ride with amazing highs and heart stopping lows. The only way to survive this ride is with someone there beside you to hold on to while you alternate between laughing hysterically and crying manically! Luckily I've got great people beside me, including YOU! Your comments and private messages in response to my past posts have touched me deeply. I know there is more to talk about and as I get older, the need to have a community of friends who, although may not always agree, understand and support each other becomes a crucial part of my own emotional well being.

So, I'm back on the roller coaster and I hope you'll join me once again on this crazy ride called LIFE! xoxo

Paige, reading this post made me feel like I'm a normal person ; ) I so Agree having friends to go through life with, to cry with, laugh with, feel insane with is worth more than money or any possessions! Women more so than men, it's how God designed us! I had to leave 40 years of cousins, friends since birth and my church family all behind 2 years ago and my God was that hard and then to hit rock bottom Within months being here. God blessed me with an angel named Amy Crist and then sent her to Nebraska! Whattttttt???? Why God??? But since last July, he has poured me with a great group of friends, Becca being one of them! He has truly given me beauty for ashes! I so agree with the quote you posted, I had no idea how important having friends are until they were Taken away for a while! But though HE takes away sometimes, HE gives back even more and even better!!! Glad you are blogging again! I stumbled across it a few months ago while pinterestimg 😊

Thank you so much for commenting DeLin! I agree so much with everything you wrote! The hard part for me about blogging is being vulnerable enough to be real, knowing that with vulnerability comes judgement but I think ultimately comes courage and strength as well. I'm so glad that you have found good friends, peace and happiness...no one deserves it more!! xoxo
