You just put one foot in front of the other.

It's been almost a year since I've last written and so much has happened. The first anniversary of my mother's death was August 31st; the second year of David's was September 27th; Louise Hurt-Brown, my mother-in-law died November 20, 2010; finally Heather Turpyn, my neice passed away on December 10, 2010.

I took an early retirement from Vanguard in June 3, 2011. Just about 14 years later from my start date. No surprise since I couldn't function or focus on anything.
The last 5 months have been productive though. I did a lot to improve the interior of the house. The sheer volume of painting, plastering, etc. was just the right kind of tired that I needed.

I'm taking this opportunity to rethink somethings, because how often do you have a chance to take your life in a new direction? I admit to being somewhat scared and uncertain about what to do next, but sometimes you just put one foot in front of the other.
