Last year on this day I had an ambitious plan. I set writing goals, reading goals and blogging goals. My first and only post was about beginning again and well here I am once again to write again, about beginning again, again.

When I made the post about beginning again, my mom was in the hospital. Seven days after posting that blog post, my mom had to have emergency surgery. She was in the ICU for about two weeks and remained under the hospital’s care for three months. My younger sister and I took turns visiting her in the hospital. My younger brother would drive in from Ohio every couple of weeks to relieve us from some of our hospital visits. I was point person and involved with most of the decisions for her care. After she was discharged from the hospital, my sister and I became full-time caregivers. My brother continued to help out. Then in September, he was killed in car accident in Ohio. Basically my life exploded.

Now I’m back because I have to write. It’s what my brother would have wanted. It’s too late for my brother to begin again, but I can. I can begin again and that is the plan for 2025.

I want to take the time to thank those who have read what little content I have on this blog. I truly appreciate you and I am grateful. So here’s to a fresh start and beginning anew.
