First of all, I again want to thank all of you that read, comment, and inspire me here at this little space on the interwebz. This blog has been therapy for me in the last 10 months and I plan to keep using it as such, not only by writing about my feelings and goals, but for the occasional silly me-me ( ie: blog post ideas I copy from my friends!), pictures and whatever else I feel like throwing out.

Lots of people think that the date on the calendar means that the last year is totally gone. In both good and bad ways for me, that’s not true. I’m still grieving the death of Gregory,and now with the death of my Daddy a little over two weeks ago, it’s like a band-aid has been ripped off of my soul and I am going through a lot of the same things over again. It’s like all of the strides I made in the last 9 months were made while wearing a bungee cord. I feel like I’ve been double-dipped.

So I will still be writing about being a widow, and now a daughter who has lost her father, and all of the emotions and things that go with both, mixed in with a little of my dealings with the Dreaded Bureaucracy of Death.  Despite all of that, things aren’t all gloom and doom, so I will also be writing about the good things……my journey back to a healthier Kim – both mentally and physically, these crazy dogs of mine, friends, family and the amazingness that I hope 2010 turns out to be. And a big part of the good is all of you, my RL, Twitter, FB and Blog friends…. I look forward to getting to know you all better this year, many of you in person !

So let’s get this year off to a great start shall we ?
