I’m sorry for my lack of posts lately. I have been in a bit of a slump. I have had so much going on, I haven’t had much time for me. I haven’t been taking photos and I haven’t felt like writing in my blog. When I do sit down to write, I have so many things to say, but I just feel like I can’t really write about everything here.

The good news is that my brother decided to go to rehab. He has been there for a week now, and things seem to be going well. The hard part is the emotional toll hasn’t gotten much easier for me. On top of that my dad was diagnosed with Prostate cancer. It is in very early stages and should have a very high cure rate. But everything together has just been weighing on me.

For some reason today was just an especially hard day. Nothing in particular happened. It just feels like some days I feel stronger and I am able to cope better. Other days things just seem so much harder to deal with.

I finally decided to just get my workout clothes on, grab a lighthearted book, and jump on the elliptical trainer. I knew it would help, and it did. After I was done I just felt better. I know that there is long road ahead for Bryan, and for all of us. The good part is he is in a great place and is leaning a lot. He has a supportive family and supportive friends. We are all pulling for him and I know that we just need to take it one day at a time.
