Second Time Around

 So much happiness today, bittersweet happiness. It started with me remembering (through my sister in law) that it is my Dad's death anniversary. I feel ashamed admitting to myself that I have forgotten about this occasion. I know...I believe subconsciously it has always been on my mind. In fact, i was talking to my mom the other day about how Papa visited me in my dreams and only then have I realized that the "date" was coming. So fast forward from my self initiated guilt, I rummaged my phone's album for an old pic of my Papa so I could write a sweet note for him to post on Facebook. But, alas! I could not find any and then I suddenly remembered I used to write blogs here (and on one other site). So i logged in to my very very ancient Yahoo Mail and tried to sift through thousands of my emails to look for a specific email I can use to get back to those two old blogging sites I used to frequent to. I found the first one, WordPress. Who would have thought that I only used WordPress before during my slacking hours at work to blog and ramble about mundane things in my life and now look at how it has grown and developed! So, I found the email I was looking for, got into my WordPress account and started reading my old blogs but to my dismay, I could not find the article I was looking for. I took my attention back to the heap of emails again and tried to find the second site. When I found it, I was able to go to  my old blog's URL but I could not sign it. The only thing I can do was to read all my entries, laugh, cry and reminisce my craziness in the eyes of an audience (because I could not log in). I felt like it was a journal of my life, a special part of me, my history, my feelings, my emotions, my ideals. I felt strongly about those epistles from my past that I made it a mission to figure out how to get my access back...how I can make me mine again (lol). And I am proud to say that like most my battles, I triumphed this one as well, with flying colors! Now I got my blog back and now I'm writing again. So I am looking forward to rediscovering the joys of writing the second time around.
