I love life!

Hi, I am Jo and this is my blog about my life. Here you will find entries on cooking, gardening, food safety and the interesting things happening in my search for an inexpensive and healthy way of living. My home is located in North Florida and I am relearning how to take care of myself at almost 50. This is the deep South so my garden and season may be a bit different than yours. I look forward to seeing what you have to say as time passes. Read on and have a beautiful day!
Jo

Another Time Around

Restarting the blog has been on my mind for a while. Yet it is taking me time to find my voice and try to figure out how to say what I want to say. After all, I am a wimp and tend not to want to offend anyone. However, there are times when that need not to offend is secondary. Today is one of those days.

Several hours ago I picked up my divorce papers from the mediator to be filed later this week. Yes, I know it is the week before Christmas. We haven't lived together since last February, and well, he has a girlfriend and has had one since long before the day I left. Between my illness and his affair we were toast, I tried, he sorta tried but that's not enough in the end.

So at almost 50, I find myself starting over. The thought came to me, "What the hell." I can blog about the experience and re-figuring out who I am and what I want and need out of life.

This is the reboot. This whole starting over can be both exhilarating and exhausting and honestly between work and going to see the mediator for the final signatures I am fried mentally and physically. I will be back to follow up and be chatty about all the crazy I have stirred up in a year and a half.

Hugs-
Jo
