There comes a point in your life that you hit a bump. So hard it knocks the wind out of you and leaves you hazed and confused, just like the ice cream flavor, except there is nothing sweet about it.

I hit that bump on that fateful Friday at work when I thought it was just another day in the office. Since then I started second guessing myself and not even the joys of writing and playing dress-up gave me comfort. So I apologize for the lack of blog posts, it wasn’t because I ran out of clothes (though a part of me wish it was the reason).

So how did I come around? It’s during these times that I remember to do my mom’s best advice—to dust ourselves off and rise because there is nothing that a good SPRING CLEANING cannot cure. So after months of internal de-cluttering, here I am, clad in a two-piece set from Apartment8 Clothing in different hues of spring that totally describes the falling, rising and blooming that I have been through the past few months, because isn’t that what spring is all about?

And I rose up alright. Next week will mark my next big step in my nursing career as I am going back to working in the ICU after so many years, so I apologize in advance if I get tied up in training and won’t be able to update as much.

But I leave you to this thought beauties: if you find yourself in a ditch, just dust yourself off and stand up pretty because (and I quote the emperor in the movie Mulan) the flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest one of all. *wink*
