A New Blog, A New Me

If one could make an analogy, bloggers might call me a prodigal. I blogged years ago and have had so many life changes that I gave up a blog that had once been therapeutic to me.

Life changes...

My former blog didn't seem to 'fit' anymore. My life changed. There was less stitching, less reading, and less time to be the blogger I had once been. I could not fulfill the unstated blogger expectations of 'you read mine and I'll read on yours'. I also didn't feel I was the same person that people had once known. I was different, my life was different, and my blog wasn't a reflection of the changing-me.

Perhaps the biggest change happened when I became employed as an EMT. It takes a lot to recover from 24 hour shifts away from home. The experiences in EMS have changed me; for the good and bad. PTSD has reared it's ugly head but God and my husband are with me always.

I've kept the nick-name 'Parsley' because I love it. As I ease back into blogging, I do hope you'll be patient with me.

Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa tea, and enjoy a peak into my life with my seven dogs and the assorted ponderings of a prodigal blogger, returned.
