It's been long over due update........

It's been quite a while since I've posted.  My only excuses for my absence is my lack of motivating due to difficult times.  Since my last post almost a year ago much has happened in my life that has been very heavy on my heart.  I've have gone through a painful break-up, parents divorce, unexpected passing of a very close uncle, lost my best friend, financial issues, and even emergency surgery (*I'll go into this in more detail later on).  It has seemed that each month came with it own set of difficulties that drained me of any enthusiasm to blog about.  No body likes to share the bad news. But through all this there has been wonderful bright moments to celebrate such as, my UC symptoms have improved, I'm working once again, and I've been maintaining my health and weight.   But I digress, it is now that I feel I must share my experiences with those around me to share lessons I've learned. So please welcome me back to my blog world and stay tuned, because I'm back.
