Will you or won’t you?

Dance today? Yes, I will. I actually dance when I hear a good song.
Leave the breakfast dishes to drain? Uhm, I don’t do the dishes. I am not much for household chores. Bad.
Finish the newspaper crossword this evening? Hahaha. I always finish the crossword puzzle when I open and read the paper in the morning.
Wish upon the next star you see? Yes, I will. It makes me feel young and hopeful.

How about you?

For all of you…

Before anything else, I urge you to read this post from start to finish. It will make you understand my absence and the reason why I changed my blog title. Thank you!

First and foremost, I would like to apologize for being inactive for the past few months. Blogging has to take a backseat in favor of my baby boy, Santi. I gave birth last December to a healthy baby boy and family comes first for me. I know those of you who still visit me here from time to time have noticed that only linked posts were posted and nothing else. I asked a very great cousin of mine to take care of everything for me while I am away. And ever the gracious one in the family, she said yes and never failed me.

I changed my blog’s tittle to Burst of Laughter. I also added a tagline that says… “And a new beginning. Letting go of the past, finally.” Let me explain why.

When I started this blog, I was grieving for a lost loved one. My husband of only three years died from a boating accident. He drowned when his ship capsized and I was left to take care of our then 2-year-old daughter, Anika. I was also pregnant with our little boy when it happened. You can just imagine the pain and anguish I felt when it happened. My beloved cousin suggested a month after we buried my husband that I start a journal. An online one to make it easier for me. It will be the therapy that I need, she said. I opened two blogs. One, a really personal one that chronicled my grieving. And this one to earn some extra income and meet new friends.

Last January, when little Santi held my hand while I was crying, missing his dad, I realized that I need to let go of the past already and move on with our lives. I now have two lives depending on me and it will not do good if I continue grieving. Matt will be happier where he was if he sees us moving on. And while I was digesting all these, I heard my daughter, Anika, laughing on something her uncle was telling her. I also heard my dad and my mom laughing with the two and I realized that life will be okay. My life, my kids’ lives.

I am finally letting go of the past. I will forever hold Matt dear in my heart. His kids will know what a good man he was.

Everything will fall into place. Slowly. Gradually.

And now I am back. I sure hope you are still there, ready to be friends with me still.

Happy weekend!

A quick note

I am truly sorry my blog friends if I am not updating this blog and visiting yours. I am swamped with work and all 5 of my clients are demanding my attention all at the same time. I am so stressed these days and have just been injecting a few online business for some extra money this coming holidays. By Sunday I will be free to update and visit.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

I thought so…
