I have several places online where my life story is told. They're all in bits and pieces and for the most part not well written. Writing is not my forte and never has been. Give me a good old math problem to solve and I'm happiest.
I am an open book. On Facebook, I put out most of my business. It's quick and easy. And, (I'm about to get morbid and sad) I know I won't be around for a lot of time. I'm hoping and praying for many, many years but you know, metastatic cancer. Anyway, I have hopes that in the future when I am gone, my children will look at memories from Facebook and smile at them. Even the bad ones. I hope they see the good, the bad, the ugly and the beautiful that was our lives together. I hope they remember them and know "wow, it sucked during that time, but man, we sure came out stronger". Or, "wow, we had such a good time then". I hate that my openness has allowed people to steal some of the peace I had been feeling. I trusted that people who I thought were friends would be able to keep my stuff to themselves. Turns out I was wrong. I went and restricted any and everyone except for a couple of people who might know me in real life and know the people who have given me grief this past year.
I don't write this to make anyone sad. Don't be! Life is good. Not yet very peaceful but man, it's good.
I'm going to take a break from social media. For now. I don't know how long. I just know that I need to take a break. It's hard because it's my go to whenever I'm waiting somewhere and I do a LOT of waiting. Know that I'm praying for you and will probably update via this blog. I hope.
And, because I always like to add photos to my blog, here's one:
Love and prayers, everyday.

Love and hugs, KC. I'm taking a long break too starting September 24. Do what you need to do to regain your peace. You're always in my prayers. One of the reasons I want to get off is I want to get back to old fashioned communication, ie, calls and letters. So, you'll probably hear from me. Take care of yourself and your beautiful family. I'll be in touch!

KC, when you write down your story, it is always well written because nobody knows the story like you do. I have always appreciated and loved how real you are in sharing your story. You are a strong and courageous woman! Don't let the naysayers steal your hope, your peace, or your joy! Keeping you all in prayer.
