Resurrection of sorts

June 9th, 2010 at 04:06 pm


I am back. I was previously known as Momcents or Mrs. Last month I had a miscarriage at 16 weeks (despite positive results in bloodwork and ultrasound). It has been a rough patch for my children who were filled with great joy and anticipation over the newest sibling. In an effort to deal with my grief, I deleted the most recent posts dealing with my concerns over finances and our expanding family size. Then I moved to a place where I was upset that I spent so much time blogging over finances (not really a lot, it just seemed like over the span of time that my previous blog existed) and before I knew it my entire blog was deleted and gone.

I received some wonderful support of fellow bloggers here who were concerned about me and I've missed the camaraderie of the SA place. I'v popped in and I see that wonderful bloggers are helping out relatives and people are supporting bloggers who have lost loved ones. Thus, I am back.

This sad event has showed me how much I am loved and supported by my family and church friends. We have received prayers and comfort for our child that we had for such a brief time. I am reminded that life is fragile and nothing is for certain, an sentiment echoed in many blogs recently.

I vow that this won't be a place where I lament or complain or worry about money. Rather this is a place where I am going to focus on loving the life that I am living. I am no longer worried about the past or what people think or say. I am not worried about the future. I am saving for retirement and college to the best of our abilities. I am not going to pine away for another child which may or may not come.

My goal is to be the best wife and mother I can be. I hope that I can maintain a home that is peaceful and tranquil. I hope I can teach my children that there is more to life than money. I hope to use this as a place to chronicle my successes and organize my thoughts.

Join me as I attempt to truly Love the Life I Live.

    ((Hugs))I'm so sorry for your loss. You seemed to be handling it well. And your absolutely right...life is much more than money. What I love about our SA community is that our common bond is the desire to write about money, but yet we can share parts of our lives and be supported that way as well.

    I'm thrilled you are back. Best wishes as you move forward.

    I'm glad you've decided to come back. While this virtual community proves that money-minded people aren't joyless Scrooges, at the same time, we can always benefit from being reminded how much more important the other parts of life are. You and Apprentice and Mrs. Frugalista all reminded us of that today in different ways. I look forward to your life-living-loving posts!

    I'm sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is. My daughter had a miscarriage in May, and it really is difficult for the entire family.

    You have a very good attitude, and that will help you heal.
