Lord Have Mercy...

I logged on to Blogger to attempt a blog post, and I couldn't even get into the account.  What a MESS of confused email accounts and passwords, error messages, and failure attempts!  Ugh!  It's been almost a year since my last post... I could have sworn that just a few months ago I wrote and posted about how I'm "back at it" with the blogging, even if I can't fill in the blanks of the past two years.  Wonder where THAT went... like much of my life, it probably got lost in distraction and chaos!

If I didn't have so much history here on this site, I'd switch to another platform... But I think I can make it continue to work by strictly using Internet Explorer instead of Google Chrome. (Because I use a Google/Gmail account for work, the Blogger site gets VERY confused when I try to access it.)

Anyhow... I have 5 posts still in "Draft" going back about 2 years, plus so many adventures never shared, plus BIG family happenings that have never made it to the page.  Where do I begin?

One of the things I'm working on is the perfectionist "all or nothing" tendency in me... i.e., the mindset that if I can't do it ALL, or do it all RIGHT, I'm not gonna do it at all.  Well, ever since Miss Kate arrived, perfectionism had to become a thing of the past... I've had to learn to let go in MANY areas... and this will just have to be another one of them.  I have to be okay with "good enough," and "sometimes" and "just give it a shot."

First things first... I'll post the items that were in "Draft" mode.  Then, I've got to get about 2 years' worth of pictures off my iPhone (apparently I just never use a camera anymore... working on that!) so I can include some of them here.  After that, the BIG piece of news that really warrants a post.  It's not bad news, it's not good news, it's just significant. 

I just can't, with the fancy scroll signature and perfectly matched formatting and hyperlinks and consistent labels on each post anymore.  Ready, Aim, Fire... or Publish, in this case.
