Back in the Kitchen....

Obviously it has been a while since I blogged.  I don't know why, I have been busy, haven't had anything to write about, lacking focus.... who knows.

As much as I enjoy writing I just haven't had the inspiration to do so.  Today is Easter, a season of new beginnings.... maybe I will find inspiration in the season.

To catch up to date..  I have the best job I have ever had in my life, I LOVE being the Director of Marketing for Downtown at the Gardens.  This is the most challenging, rewarding, difficult job I have ever had and I look forward to going to work every day.

I wish I could say the same for my political life....  since our election last March, two new Commissioners have joined the dais.  One I can work with, although we don't agree much of the time, he is open to compromise.  The other one... well let me just say she is a mix of Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin, Glen Beck and every other know it all politician you can think of.  She does not understand that LEADERS lead by finding common ground, not just demanding their way.  It is extremely frustrating.  My role on the commission has also changed, I am now Vice-Mayor, it is rewarding and interesting.

Daddy has been in Florida for the winter and I have been able to spend some time with him.  He leaves for Georgia this Friday after we celebrate our birthdays together on Thursday.  He will be 80.....80.  He has good days and bad, his health is still good, although he is still trying to mend a broken heart.

Ironically Facebook has become a major part of my life... I use it for work a lot, but the true reward for me with Facebook has been reconnecting with so many old friends and family members that I have lost touch with.... it is very special to know what you all are up to.

So that's where I am for now.... working hard, enjoying amazing friends and family and for the most part in a good space.

I have a story brewing around in my mind that I need to get down on paper, not a blog post but something longer.  Childhood best friends, brought back together by chance who find out that it isn't their commonality that is most important but their differences that make their relationship special. Hopefully I will get around to it soon.

Stay with me on the blog, I am going to make an effort to get back with you soon........
