It's a New Year. I decided I'd give blogging another go, but under a new blog. The new blog will serve in part as a form of journaling, partly as an accountability tool to not get bogged down in wanting my old life back when that's not possible, and partly as just hobby. I appreciate everyone's kind words from that last September post. I just needed to walk away for a bit.
Fall was particularly hard as it was supposed to be our new start with DH in retirement. Our anniversary was in October followed by my daughter's birthday, my November birthday and Thanksgiving, and then Christmas to get through. I got Covid between Christmas and New Year's, still feel pretty lousy, but had already decided I wanted to see the New Year in alone, so no plans were changed on my part. You can see why my mind was not in a good place, but days in bed gave me a lot of thinking time.
This site is going to end but if you are interested, I'm staring fresh on a new page. I don't know how often I'll post, how long it'll go, but visit me if you would like at Sam Squared. Thank you all again for your kindness.
Good to hear from you Sam. I will change my blog roll now. Wishing you the best in 2024.
ReplyDeleteHello Sam, This is kind of a split comment. I just added Sam Squared to my Blogger Reading List (it worked--your initial post just showed up in my list!), and added a comment over there. A new beginning is exciting, but your closing this blog made me think of all the enjoyable posts I have read here, and your comments on my blog. --Jim
ReplyDeleteHi Sam, and I'm glad to see you back. You really have had the most awful year and I don't blame you for wanting to take a break from blogging. That being said, I'm glad you're back and hope you'll be over covid and feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteGreat News! We all missed you.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about you and how much I enjoyed your writing and hoped you were doing ok. I will definitely be following your new blog! ColoradoGirl
