Nails Done

My nails and cuticles have very little structure of their own.  One of the kindnesses I have been prioritizing for myself is to keep them reinforced with a layer of acrylic non stop for the last few years.

I think the reason behind their structural issues is this, but I'm not sure as I have never been diagnosed.  My sister has so the genetic prediction on my part is a little more sound thanks to that.  I tried bringing it up with one of my small town health providers and they seemed overwhelmed and didn't want to discuss it.

Anyway, I enjoy the various looks I can try with it.

 

Writing

 Turning to my blog to write used to be an almost daily occurance when I decided to start one in 2007.  I became obsessed with the concept before I started my own probably because I missed writing and an outlet to the world was what I needed, as a stay at home mom of 2--almost 3.

I had moved to a townhouse that was no longer near my friends in a different suburb area.  I started a new pregnancy and was in turmultuous emotions over our whole life changing soon.  We knew this townhouse was simply a money making vehicle and we were soon to move across several states and leave our breadwinner's career behind.  It was a lot!  And I never went anywhere or connected with friends much so I didn't know how to talk out the changes.

Which led me here.  And if you'll indulge some advice I will always give this: write.  Get it out or down somewhere.  I switched to journaling and now have stacks of them filled from the decades I haven't been *here*.  Those became my scripture as I searched for patterns in my relationships and choices and it has been a vehicle to changing those things drastically.
