Brief update that's WAY overdue!

I haven't written on this in a long, long, long time. A lot of drastic changes have taken place since my last writing and, to be completely honest, I've lost heart over the last 4 years or so. You would think that this girl would get it by now that it's just the way life is. You get knocked down (and sometimes repeatedly) and then try to get back up. The last 4 years have been really difficult (mentally and physically) so, I will try to work thru the last few years and get caught up. Bear with me...
