I’ve been a bit distracted

I haven’t blogged as much as I need and want to recently. This past week has been the kind of thing that you don’t particularly wish on anyone.

My hope is that I can get things turned around quickly & won’t have to dwell on anything that happened or may happen. Many of my friends have said that I’m one of the strongest people they know, and I promise I can put on an amazing front and use humor to make light of situations that, in fact, make me cry myself to sleep at home.

I promise I don’t need any pity or anything like that. A few positive thoughts tossed my direction wouldn’t hurt, but I’m not begging or even asking nicely for any. I’m sorry I have to keep it vague past the fact that my aunt passed away on Wednesday, but there are some things I’m not sharing with some people so as to not worry them.

We are away for the weekend in Estes Park (my husband and I) and my daughter is with my mom on a mini-road trip too. I’m hoping the fall colors, fall beer and fresh air help to clear my mind and get me focused and help me become a better person. Really, in the end, that’s what I need to do most – become a better person.

    I hate it when life shows up to remind us that it can totally suck sometimes. Hope things turn around, try to focus on the positive and good things in your life. They will out way any bad.

    I’m so sorry. I have been there and did not say much about it and just kept hoping and trying to keep my blog going. It’s so hard when real life reminds us we really aren’t in control. It’s good to have friends you can share the real pain/fears with. I am so sorry for your loss and I send prayers, good thoughts to you. Hang in there! Hugs.

    It will all work out the way it’s supposed to, Katie. You’ll be fine. I’m sorry for your loss, but I remember you saying your aunt had a rich, full life. Not much comfort, but better than knowing she didn’t do anything she wanted to do, right?
