Tell your story from you scars - not your wounds, they say. Until this point, I thought I'd always write from my gashing open wounds. But lately, I think I'm now almost coming to a place where I can look back and tell my story, tell it from my scars. I may not be quite there, as that all-familiar lump forms still when I think of her, but I'm getting closer.

As we wait for our permit to be approved from city hall for the addition we want to build on the back of our house, there are a few yard projects to do in the meantime.
