The Deal

Alright, blog. Here's the deal.

The deal is that i'm stressed. The deal is that i'm depressed. The deal is that i've written notes about probably 15 blog topics, but have not had the energy to sit down and write the stories that are in my head.

The deal is that i'm lonely. That I miss my Soldier. I'm trying to do the best I can each and every day, but the absolute deal is that sometimes I the day wins, the lonesome feeling defeats me, and the strength I thought I had dwindles.

Hoping I can shake off this January funk and write the stories in my head, because let me tell ya... some of them are GOLDEN!

I'm writing this for me, almost as if i'm validating why i haven't written anything else. But I know you're all on the edge of your seats wanting to hear about downtown living, my solo trip to New York, or how the things i've learned being a military girlfriend. So the deal is this.... keep me in your prayers, and I will find the energy that I know is inside me... that zest for life you all know and love... and I will write my heart out. I promise.

Life isn't all glory stories, and happy endings. Life is a whole lot of learning to become an adult in the land of misfit toys.

Until next time,
Lauren
