Purpose

It's no secret that I haven't been particularly motivated to update my blog. But thanks to my friend, April, I have a fresh perspective on how to use my blog over the next few months. As most of you know, Anthony is on deployment. As of tomorrow, we are halfway through! There are thousands of things, moments, experiences, thoughts, feelings, etc. that make me think of my husband...aside from the general Anthony-is-always-on-my-mind stuff which is a given. So, I'm choosing to bring attention/awareness to these instances through the act of writing about them here.  I feel that it's important to bring specific attention to this so that 1. I don't explode with emotion & thoughts, 2. I have a way, other than Skype, to communicate daily happenings, and 3. it's a positive shift in focus, to do something productive with the "I miss him so much!" feelings.

I'm hoping that the last three mos. move along faster than the first three. I'm hoping it's like the school year: the fall drags and the spring flies.

Read if you like.

Love to all.

I think it's a great idea! And even if you aren't writing about Anthony, you'll probably be writing about Anthony. That's the way any kind of expression works. I hope that blogging serves to relieve some of the emotional tension and maybe even distract you occasionally. I'm also so glad to hear that you guys are halfway through!

I am so glad that you are able to turn this blog as a means of not only communication, but an outlet for your emotions :). I look forward to reading more!
