From October to December of this year, I spent most of the time living with myself and my children while my husband worked about four hours away. He came and saw us most weekends, but a lot of the times it was just me. And it was hard. Now that I'm living back with my… Continue reading Thoughts on marriage and living without my husband

Change is the only constant
So I have been doing some reflection. I can become quite a miserable person. I always want something more out of life.
