Hi there, just a brief report

I haven't written in a long, long time.
Life has come full circle. Half a year ago I was desperate because everything changed in my life. Now it's all in the past. In time perhaps I will tell more. Now I will only say that my husband has lost faith in his newfound religion and is now living the way he was living before it. He has resumed eating meat and smoking (alas!) but his overzealous fanaticism was much worse than smoking. Pride comes before a fall, and he has crushed down from his ivory tower with a loud bang, and still, it's better that way. We both have learned a lot and come out all the wiser.

I'm back. In more ways than one. I have another blog which I am writing in my native language about and for children, but lately I've been more and more aware that I need a blog of my own. A blog where I might write about things that move me and touch me and do not necessarily concern children.
I have a fantastic woolen sweater for my dearest husband (and after being so close to divorce I can really say "my dearest" and mean it more than ever) on the needles, and I want to take care of myself more often, and I want to show off some work I'm doing in the garden and at home. I feel a need for a blog of my own - and what luck! I have just the thing!

I have so many things to do, so many debts to settle, so many bills to pay, so many pounds to lose etc. that it seems at times there's way too much on my plate to think about some growth and "me time". But I'm sure it gets better further along the way.
