Anybody Home?

Hi Old Friends,

Feels like coming back home to be here at Walking Butterfly. Recently I have been methodically moving the posts here to my Word files because I was considering closing this blog down. So many reasons. Mainly I have been concentrating so much on writing for $$ and using my other blog- Recovering Church Lady,  as a base for that. So I did not want ordinary-silly posts on there.

But OMGoodness! Not posting here has made me feel claustrophobic and muzzled! I guess I need both places to express myself fully without thinking about who in my circle of life is reading it. I fully intend for RCL to be a completely AUTHENTIC and honest expression of my beliefs and my daily life, but there is still a tendency to be too much aware of the readers that I know, and the possible magazine editors and prospective job opportunities. I want to give them that blog address as a sample of my devotional life writing and do not want them to go there when I have just written about wandering my home in my pajamas at 3 in the afternoon! Or details about my kids and their comings and goings.

Which brings me to an update (for you Rob-Bear!). 

See that colorful gathering of lovely people on my couch up there? My eldest son and his feisty bride (2 on the right) have moved many, many miles away to Texas. Financially it is a much easier place to begin life together, actually just about ANY PLACE is better financially than here in CA!. Their jobs changed, their friends moved away and Sassy Bride has her whole family there. So there you go.

I don't like it but I agree with the move. They are already house-hunting!! Very happy for the big opportunities they are already finding there. Just don't remind me that I will be far away from future grandkids someday. :( 

My younger son, Rocker Son has gone through a second and hopefully last surgery after a motorcycle accident in August. He and Tattoo Girl are doing well, having fun and still coming over at least once a week. We love having them here though it will be hard to get used to Writer Son and Sassy Bride being gone since New Year's Day. 

Walking Butterfly is still alive and kicking. I am not going to worry about how few comments are left here. This is a lovely and warm place to speak my mind, practice my writing and share my heart. I am back.
