Dedication

Welcome to the Day 16 of BlogFest 2012!!  Today's host is Suzy at Someday Somewhere.

     I have been dedicated to my husband and our marriage for 15 years and intend to remain dedicated as long as I draw breath.   I have been dedicated to both of my children since they were born.  My little family means the world to me.




      Since that fateful day in 2009 when I decided to maintain a blog, I have been dedicated.  I have had my ups and downs, my share of writer’s block and those moments when there simply was not enough money to keep the internet bill paid and on at home.  I have been dedicated enough to go to the local library and use their computers to insure that I posted regularly and kept up with all the writing prompts that the groups I am affiliated with offered.  It mattered to me.  I wanted to remain connected and refused to allow a little thing like lack of money stop me from posting.

      Dedication means a lot.  Some people like my father and my husband, dedicate most of their lives to their jobs out of necessity.  They stay on the road and keep those tires on their semi trucks rolling to insure that their family can eat, have things, and have a roof over their heads.  They sacrifice part of their lives to just stay afloat, pay the bills,  and survive.  

       People dedicate their time to learn, to help others, and to grow.  In the end one can only hope that the dedication to continue on is appreciated by others until next time when I give you another glimpse into the life of a trucker’s wife.
