There comes a time, after major changes in ones life, when you just have to start living again. – major move and health issues top the stress charts but you have to decide to get on with things no matter what!
The photo I’m featuring is by my dear friend, Nancy Kirkpatrick. She is one of the rocks that have stood beside me through this major transition. I treasure my friends from the island and always will.
Our move to Louisiana has not been an easy one. I have hesitated to write about it and share it with my readers because it is not the bright, positive scenario I like my life to be.
That said, we are turning corners and a bright light shines before us. The unforeseen has visited me in a big way with a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. I am having a full right hip replacement the day after Thanksgivimg and have informed my surgeon that I expect to be bionic!
We”re preparing to move into the lovely Acadian style home we have bought and planning on so much goodness! I’m back and I would love to hear from you all! I’ll be sharing our transition into the new home and so much more!
Happy Monday….send me a message…drop me a line! It’s good to be writing again!

I’m so sorry to hear about the problems you’ve encountered! I’ve missed reading your posts and your Sunday music 🙂 What I wished I’d missed is the evacuation of Saint Simons. Whew! Was that an experience and one we hope to never have again. We are on our way home now but look forward to returning to SSI. Heck! A hurricane is not going to keep us from our favorite Island. I didn’t get much writing or posting done but certainly plan on doing much more once we are home.
I can’t wait to see your new home. Take care and I can’t wait to read more. -

So good to hear that your life is on a more even path. For me it is always better to know what is ahead, even when it may not be perfect, it is a course that we can follow. I am sending healing thoughts for your surgery and fun and joy in your move. Look forward to all your news.

I’ve always enjoyed your blog and wanted you to know….I’m thinking of you. I had a hip replacement….two years in Nov too….it was the hardest and the best thing you can do! rehab:::::
I still have arthritis in my back and numerous trials…but that’s what makes us stronger. And, like Pollyanna…always find something good…and there’s always someone dealing with something worse…..so chin up…smile and keep writing! We miss you!!

What a nice surprise to see my photograph and my name mentioned on your blog. We’ve both been on quite a colorful roller coaster since we met, but the ride is always better with a friend like you! With you all the way, girl friend.
