My Black is NOT Cracking.

I'm not Aging. I'm appreciating in value!

I was trying to decide what my first blog post, post-tragedy, (post talking about tragedy) should be about.  I didn’t want to write about what’s been on my mind, because I’m guessing I’ve depressed ya’ll enough. I’m struggling, but I’m trying.  My Noodle was no quitter.  Nor am I.  (But there have been days. Trust …

I’m back.  Sorta. This post is going to feel redundant based on my last few, (which were a few months ago now! I’m trying!!!) but it’s really bugging me, and I just feel the need for a recap!  I promise! This is the last time.  I’m also doing fifty-eleven things, so please forgive any typos. …

That includes me!  I own a mirror. And yes, I talk to myself. I definitely need to do better. I will never stop trying to do better. If not for myself, for those that love and need me.  And, for those that I love. For example, I’ve said this many times, but I know I …

This one is going to be short, but not sweet! I spent the weekend in the hospital!  No as a patient.  As a family member.  As an observer.
