It's Been A Long Time

Well, I finally figured out how to get back on this blog site, and let me tell you ... I almost gave up trying!Gah..technology these days! It's harder to get back into a old blog site than to hack a bank account.
Not that I've ever tried to do the latter, but you get my point. 

I actually did give up trying to get on here, and started a new blog, shhh... don't tell this old friend, but I was stepping out on the side because this old friend wouldn't let me back in.This place has been a safe place for almost 20 years now though, so I couldn't give up on it. I found my fingers gravitating back here, time and time again until finally TODAY I cracked the code.
                                                      WOOT WOOT!! SHOUT THE PRAISE!
Since the last post published here, I can't even begin to go through all the changes that have taken place as the train of life just kept on chugging. 
Here's what you need to know if you want to know, which if you're reading this you might want to know, so I'm going to tell you bullet point style;
*Solomon graduated during a pandemic*All 4 kids moved into the new tiny house on Molly(plus one extra during the pan-dem)*We planted a garden and you can just call us Farmer Mo and No now.*Then starting with Emma and her plus one the kids started to move out.*Emma moved back to Seattle(during the pan -dem)*We were deemed "essential workers" so we didn't get the year off from the world*We got a "Covid Pup" named him Nigel and just the like the song says, "We only want what's best for him"*Chloe and Solomon moved to Reno*Isaiah my baby graduated, turned 18 last July, and he's really good at it !*Chloe then moved to Seattle*Solomon is moving to Ohio in July*The MoNoSco house is almost an Empty Nest now, and I find myself having ALOT of time to blog
Ok, now that you're caught up let me tell you what I've been thinking about lately.
The world at large is a HOT MESS ! ! (yes, that statement deserves 2 exclamation points)Has it ever not been a HOT MESS?If there was a time when the world at large was NOT a HOT MESS, what time would you say that would have been?
Here's the other thing I've been thinking; its a BEAUTIFUL MESS made up of beautiful, messy, messes. It's called humanity. I refuse to give up trying, or lose hope in my tiny efforts to make it better.When I think about the messes, the ugly, broken, nasty BIG messes, I get overwhelmed so I tend to avoid them.It's not like I don't know they are there, but since I can't clean them all up or even a tiny bit of them, I feel paralyzed to do anything at all... and that is a terrible feeling. So, then I go back to basics in my thought process and my soul.
All I can do is control my little corner of the mess and try to make it better.
That being said, this beloved place will be a place of safety and hope and encouragement ... or at least that is my intention in finding my voice again here, and speaking out, and speaking up, and hopefully cleaning up some of the mess. I especially feel like there needs to be more blogs about working hard, growing things, hopeful outlooks, creating, and enjoying this beautiful life.
IF that's what you want to read with your precious time on the inter webs then come by, and say hello here.It's a safe place with more LOVE and HOPE to come.
