1st Post

I guess I should start out by saying that I don't know everything that I plan to do here, but I have a few ideas of things that might be good to do.  I am struck regularly by something that I have seen or read and it leads me to question and think further about not only what those words mean, but how I can include them into my life.  I want to share recipes and photos of foods and travels that we might have. I want to talk about books and food and anything else that strikes me.

I am undergoing a major life change at this point with my job of 16+ years ending and being sent overseas.  I just finished getting my MBA and I don't know where I want to go or what I want to do.  I am really shaken at this point not knowing what I am going to do.  As I said to someone recently, I want things to be "normal", although I am not always sure what that means.  I do know that through faith I believe that everything will be okay, but I would like to know that I have a job to go to when this one ends. Since my husband is now designated as permanently disabled, I am the one who will have our health insurance and who can bring in the extra money that the monthly check just won't cover.

Writing has always been somewhat of a cathartic experience for me and I am sure that this will be no exception.  If I can pour it out onto the page and "talk" and think it through, it always seems to help.  I don't know if it will help anyone else, but that would be nice as well.
