You have to start somewhere

So today I start here.

This year I will seriously try to update my blog more often.  Not because I think anyone else is dying to hear what I have to say but because, well, isn't that the whole point of having a blog?

A lot of stuff has been happening in the last few months, some good, some not so good.  Christmas, especially, resulted in some difficult experiences and confrontations.  There have been wounds inflicted that I'm not sure will ever heal.  There is a place in my heart that will forever remain empty except for the sadness there. I know that as a result relationships will never be the same. My heart hurts for those involved directly and those who have been in the fallout zone.

My grandsons, Ian and Lucas have been and continue to be a joy in my life. They are a true blessing.  I am even more grateful they are no longer 8 hours away. Over the last year it has been wonderful to see them grow and change, enjoy their hugs and kisses.  I will make more time to spend with them doing fun things.

I want to give a huge shout out to my Motor Maid sisters and their families for all the great times we have had, on an off the bikes.  Bend, Tucson, Phoenix, Vegas.....everywhere we've been has been an adventure as well as lots of laughs.  I have said this before, I'll say it again, joining Motor Maids has been one of the best motorcycling decisions I have ever made.  The years to come will be filled with many more miles.

Finally, I wish to thank my wonderful partner, Debbie, who stands beside me day in, day out, supports my efforts, celebrates my successes and commiserates on my failures.  She has been, and continues to be the rock in my life, sharing in my joys and supporting me in my sorrows.  I love you, honey.

My ramblings have come to an end now.  To those who have seen it through, I thank you.
