A NEW BEGINNING...

So recently through a series of events in my life I have determined that I need to take some time for myself to get me back centered.  I had been in a 6 year relationship which has taken me "out of the box" and my 10 mile radious.  I moved 200 miles from my "safety net" or so I thought, left behind my only child which was extremely difficult and for which I carry much guilt (that's an O'Keefe thing) and left my job of 24 years to start a new.  My journey took me through ups and downs, good and bad times but it is my determination to make things work no matter what and good times with Scott that has kept me here. Fortuntely I found another wonderful job that I love, have made many good friends and once again feel at home.   

The past four years Scott and I have shared many good times.  We were avid Boater's which I will miss very much and I became a "Biker-Bitch" for lack of a better phrase!  We were always on the go, go, go.  Last year in the mist of the economy Scott lost his job.  It has been 13 months and he finally was offered a position in Atlanta to start a new.  I have had mixed feelings about this move and if I was willing to up-root and relocate once again. I guess when push came to shove I followed my heart and decided to remain an Orlando resident.  Though not an easy decision, it is one I know in my heart is right and with the support of my wonderful family and the "Strong Women" in my life, you know who you are...I will make a great life for myself and my son should he choose to join me, right her in Central Florida!

I will use this blog to express my good and bad times and keep my family and far away friends updated on my life.  I hope you will enjoy my journey...
