I don’t know how to navigate my thoughts. I don’t know how to write, how to think anymore. My brain is a jumble of mixed up emotions, thoughts, questions without answers.
Welcome to the inner workings of my brain.

With the return of almost-normal activities the kids have had a re-entry to the rink in ways that seem almost identical to the way it used to be.

I’ve taken a bit of a blogging break and I will continue but since it’s 5:00 a.m. on a Saturday and I’m on my second load of laundry I thought I might as well sit here with coffee and have a bit of a chat with you. 😃
