Getting back in the Swing

I have been living life and not particularly feeling the blogging world.  However, maybe getting back to it now would be good.  Sam, my youngest, leaves for Pensacola, FL on Tuesday to begin his nursing career in a Naval Hospital.  Today the livingroom looks like a war zone.  By Tuesday morning I will be taking back the house and cleaning, organizing, purging, and eventually painting.  This is partly in response to the current clutter, and partly this should offset the quieter state of things.  I refuse to succumb to empty nest syndrome.  Life is full and I am so proud of all my kids.  I feel so happy that they are taking on the world and making it as independant adults.  The quietness is just an adjustment in the volume and a new way of hearing things.  Maybe this will be the period where I learn new skills, like ADDING PHOTOS to my blog!
