Long Time No Write

Its been a long time since I've written, and things have gotten much better personally.  I've finished my  degree (yea!), and my oldest son graduated from high school while my younger son is now in middle school.  My kids are now much more self-sufficient and I'm starting to miss some of the need they had for me and am trying to figure out what to do with myself.  Even before my husband died, I was so busy with his career and health needs, in addition to taking care of the kids that I never had any life of my own - no hobbies, no nothing.  Now I have some time to relax before going back to work, and I am having a hard to finding some balance that makes me content.  I need to lose a lot of weight - getting on a regular diet and exercise routine will be the first thing - but really, I'm just trying to enjoy life like normal people.  I'veI had such serious things happen in my life, and I would really like to just take life more in stride.  I have been seeing a great therapist and she has helped me deal with a lot of "bullying" I seem to be getting (as the youngest in my family and in my extended family, nobody seems to think twice about giving me a hard time it seems) and I've felt more empowered. 
Well, that about it for me now.  It feels really good to come back and not be so harried like I was.  Its hard but I just need to relax and enjoy things more.
