Thinking out loud - a rant

WARNING: This is kind of a rant - thinking "out loud" I suppose. I need to blog a lot more, but I don’t, and I need to “journal”, but I don’t ... It’s just really difficult for me to do that (distracted, no focus, etc...) so once in awhile I’ll write it out. Pass it by if you don’t wanna read it. If I were someone else, I doubt I’d want to!

I don't know if you would want to ever take advantage of this, but I'm available if you would and you can contact me via commenting below with an email address because I can't post my # here...  Please do as you wish. I do not even expect a comment/reply. You have enough on your plate . Do things at your own pace because this is hard enough without feeling obligated. Whether you take advantage of that or not, I have this to offer: 1. Never let anyone tell you when to grieve, how to grieve, or for how long.  -  There are stages to grief,
