A new day.

As I was watching "Tudors" this week, I was taken by something that one of  King Henry VIII's closest companions said to him, "I know what it is that we have both lost... we've lost our Youth and there is nothing in the world that can ever return it to us".  

I have been away for 8 months.  Could be possibly stated that I have been hiding while healing from recent experiences in my life.  Since I left Brasil, my life has been up and down and I have found myself...my new self struggling to regain perhaps the person that I once was.  Today, I accept that I am never going to be the same but with that change comes opportunity to be born into something new.  A new discovery of my potential and my strength to start over.  

I am ready to write again because I have found my bottom.  Emotionally and physically I have lost everything.  Blessed with my children by my side and hope for my husbands return, I do still see the grace that I have been given.  I know that my experience was strategically written by a higher power whom I call god and I have faith that the stones which are being placed one by one daily for me to walk is my silent blessing to an extraordinary life that is yet to be revealed.    

I suppose this blog will be a discovery of the new me.  With an open mind, a modest heart, and a sense of humor I will go on a journey to explore a new life on my own, in a new city and a fresh start.  Get ready for the truth in this new blog "The Rise and Fall of Just Jill".
