List #3: Good excuses of where I have been, but also why I am back.

Good excuses of where I have been...

1. I'd rather be spending time with my kids, family, and friends. Best excuse ever.
   
2. I will always have ongoing health issues. This is how life is for me. No pity needed, it is just my reality. :)
   
3. It is quicker to stay connected through twitter and FaceBook. I originally used this blog to share with family near and far, but now FaceBook does that for me.

I always am more likely to read a post with a picture, so here is my Dad,
serving in the Navy during Vietnam. I originally posted this in honor of Veteran's day on FaceBook.

...but also why I am back.

1. I have been told this blog has been encouraging to others, so I'll keep it going. You can assume I'll be back in a few days or a few months unless I announce that I am done with blogging altogether.
   
2. Going back and rereading posts, I have been so thankful to have it as a way to remember the big and little moments of my life.
   
3. My sitereader system reminded me through email that 7-10 people still check this a day! So somebody is looking for me to write.
