When I started my blog years ago in the Notes section of Facebook, I didn't quite realize my need for an outlet. It helped me figure out my knots and tangles so I could see the forest through the trees.
Now, I am at another crossroads in my life; no; not a crossroads. Another chapter. another story is unfolding. It's time to close the book on this story and start writing my next one.
For anyone who has followed me from the start, you know I was at odds with myself, having holes in my life about my adoption. Well, those are all but filled. I know who my bio parents are, and I have a bio sister and a bio 1/2 sister. I even have a real heritage and I know I'm a first generation Canadian, whose family came from Poland. Poland!! (Any of you you knew me through my teens know I have a weakness for Polish guys... But you can even expand that to any Eastern European...yeesh! That explains so much!)
Mainly, I have closure. So, I have less to discover about myself now, and a far more pressing need to start the process of aging gracefully. Eat well, nurture spirit, nurture relationships, stay healthy, exercise, all that shit. It's not shit though. My Grandma Steffler who passed a year and a half ago always said, "if you don't have your health, you don't have much." It kinda does improve your overall quality of life... However long that might be. I just know that when I see old people, decrepit and one foot in the grave, I don't want that to be me.
I might reinvent and resurrect this blog. I may close it out and start a new one. But thank you for reading it and following my stories and rants and stuff. When I'm ready to write again, I will make it public.
May you remember to love each other, be kind to others, love yourself and be at peace.
Julie
