Life's Twists and Turns

I went from blogging on a semi-regular basis to nothing! A lot of things have happened over the last few months. I keep waiting, unsuccessfully, for some stability and normality. I have been through two new roommates, conflicts with the existing roommates and the normal ups and downs of being a single adult. I never would have thought that at the age of 28 I would still be trying to figure everything out. I guess I have the basics down. I know who I am as a person. I am not likely to suddenly decide to be a vegan or decide to only speak Klingon. As far as dating goes is it ever easy? If it is, I am still waiting for that to happen. But overall I don't have much to complain about. I am relatively healthy, I have employment and a roof over my head. Though I seem to have lost contact with a friend or two lately, I have people who support me, including my family.

Working with these kids in Special Ed make me realize how lucky I was to have a stable home life. Most of the kids don't have physical disabilities or even severe learning disabilities, they have just been the victims of unhealthy home lives that has stunted their academic growth. So even though my life has had unexpected twists and turns, I live each day hoping that in some way I can take what I have learned and help someone else.

Thank you for your blog. It is funny how one day we have it all under control and the next we feel we are starting over.
