Here we go again!

 I'm not really very good at this game, am I?

Just as I think I get life sorted, and can blog regularly.... well, something leaps out of left field and flattens me!

There is almost nothing in my life at the moment that existed when I last wrote.  I still have my sons.  I am still an educator.  I still identify as female.

That's it.

I entered the crucible, and emerged.... my life changed beyond belief.  So once again, in the words of Jerome Kern's song from 1936, I pick myself up, dust myself off and start all over again.  A different job, a different house - heck, even a different country from last time.  A new hip, a new hairstyle and colour.  And a new attitude.

So once again I celebrate my ability to fall down seven times and get up eight, to reinvent myself and my life, remaking it in a better, stronger way than before.

The cape is totally creased now, and the tights have quite a few runs and ladders in them... but you can't stop a superwoman for long, not even a probationary one!   I've been in exile, recovering from a nasty encounter with my kryptonite, and now I'm back.  

Older.  

Wiser.  

Stronger.

Let's see if I get this off the ground finally!  See you again soon (pinky promise!) but I've gotta fly!
