What's Running Through My Mind

I’m writing again after an over-three-year hiatus.

I began blogging a few years ago as a form of self-expression. I enjoyed looking at events from my everyday life and turning them into poetic, meaningful events.

Eventually, blogging became a form of therapy for me. I wrote to crowd out the negative thoughts, to give my mind something to positive to focus on. While it worked for the most part, over time, I found myself moving past the point of moderation. Writing became an obsession for me. Given my history with depression, I was afraid that if I didn’t write – if I didn’t have this singular focus on positivity – that I’d take a nosedive. I’d go down that treacherous path once again.

I’ve been married to the love of my life for 13 years.

While many would find 13 to be an unlucky number, I consider 13 to have special meaning. Proud to be a part of the Happy Wives Club first ever link up party, I’m listing 13 Reasons Why I Love My Husband.

13 Reasons Why I Love My Husband

1. He loves me with all his heart.
2. He’s the most fun travel companion.
3. He smiles and laughs easily.
4. He can fix anything: a leaky faucet, a broken toy, my sad moods.
