Good Life Off The Grid, And Then Back Again

Project Good Life apologizes to her readers for being off the grid for the balance of 2012.  For the past few months, Project Good Life had to do some life housekeeping (lifekeeping?) and blogging took a backseat.   There comes a time in even the most fabulous of lives when change is in order.  And, this year, fellow readers, was one of those times.

Project Good Life spent much of 2012 making changes to relationships that were not working for her.  She fired her manicurist and hair stylist and got a new ones.  She switched from vodka to bourbon (and from Southern Living to Garden and Gun, for that matter).  She gave up daily use of public transportation.  And on any faith she ever may have had in Tony Romo (obv).  On the more dramatic side, Project Good Life purchased a new home and moved (sometimes one just needs a change of scenery).  And, she made some critical decisions about her chosen profession -- one of which she hopes to be able to announce soon.  This has truly been a season of out with the old. Indeed, the Husband often remarks that he is lucky to have survived Project Good Life's housekeeping.

Her efforts to edit out those things in life that were either unworkable, negative, or both, allowed Project Good Life to make room for an even better Life.  She discovered even more insights into living the Good Life -- many insights that she is excited to share with her loyal readers in the day sand months to come.  She also came to realize, ever-more clearly, the things that transcend all transitions, those elements of the Good Life that will always endure: the love and support of friends and family, the adventure of travel, the comfort that making an old recipe brings, good memories (and good manners, of course), the utility of a stiff drink, and, of course, the Mothership.

Thank you, loyal readers, for patiently awaiting Project Good Life's reentry into the blogosphere.  We will try to make it worth the wait.
