As people have shared their birthday wishes (thank you), a few have asked if I’m turning 29/39…ya know, what people do when they don’t want to tell you that you are old? All I can think is that I couldn’t be more thrilled to be here. I’m so blessed to have made it this far and I’m not taking it for granted. Has it occurred to me that I’m on the downhill side of life? Of course it has! I’m not an idiot. In case you’re new here, let’s just say that I’ve have encountered some things over the past 15 years that make this day extra special and have made me very aware of my mortality. I want the rest of my years to be lived in celebration of what is…not sadness about what was or fear about what may be.

I haven’t written much (anything) over the past 2 years. There are a number of reasons and a good amount of things to get you caught up on. That said, I’m happy to announce that I’m back. My preemie blog and my cancer blog served as therapy for me and (hopefully) a place for others to find information, hope and maybe a few laughs along the way. I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I’ve decided to catch everyone up on the past couple of years and take you along for the ride that is the start of my 50s! I have topics and drafted posts and I’m ready to roll. My goal is to post weekly but we’ll see how it goes. Maybe it will be more, maybe less, but I’ll be here!

Once we get going, let me know if there are any topics you’d like me to cover.

I wish everyone the best year of your life.

Love to all,
Andee
