Life truly is a whirlwind. Sometimes that whirlwind becomes a cyclone that comes roaring down on you, sweeping you up and tossing you around like a ragdoll, leaving you with barely enough strength to just hang on and ride it out. When the storm finally moves on, if you're lucky, you're still standing - breathless and shaking, eyes glassy and vague, wondering to yourself, "Where am I and how the hell did I get here?"
For me, the storm does seem to have moved on. The winds are beginning to die down and, somehow, I'm one of the lucky ones.
It's been so long since I've written just for the joy of it that I'm already exhausted! I only wanted to say 'Hello' today. I'll be popping in regularly again for chatting, passing on interesting (or maybe not) information and sharing pics and links to all of my favorite finds.
Thanks to all of you who've kept in touch, supported me and become true friends during this time. You're the best.
