A Return Of Sorts

Hello Everyone! Remember me??? After a long (long because I watched kids every day!!) yet too fast summer-I have been having a little extra time for myself to write and play on the computer! I actually joined SoulCast-Ya I got sucked in to the add to make money while blogging. So far the people and the community have been wonderful. As far as the way the Blogs look...ehh kinda boring and the site just seems slow! I just wanted something new and fresh but now I am missing my friends I made here (well aol and now here)
So I want to pose a few questions to some old friends who may still read me once the shock of me actually posting wears off! Do any of you use Adsense on your Blogs? Would you? Has anyone actually made any money? I was just curious.
I am going to add a post I made on SoulCast to sum up kind of where I am at these days:

I have found myself in a new and wonderful place lately. I think I have finally found the magic and peace I have been looking for all of my life. Where did it come from and how did I find it you may ask? Well, I found it simply by chance in a book. I haven't always felt such contentment in my life. I came from a single parent family and only met my father when I was 17. My Mother struggled with depression,alcolholism and mental illness. My older sister of a different Dad became a teenage Mother like our own Mother was.And I, I did exactly what I was supposed to do and hoped if I was perfect it would be enough to change my Mother. And then one day in the height of her manic/depressive episodes I decided to not give a (bleep) anymore and I slowly started down my own path of destruction. I stayed on that path for about two years and revisited it now and then through my early twenties.Somehow, someway I managed to graduate high school and get into college and was finally going somewhere right? Well, it was short lived and I dropped out my second year. (I only just realized now that I had already assumed I would fail and so I did)I found some help in books and al-anon. I became and avid reader of Melody Beattie and learned a lot about myself through counseling as I tried to make peace with the anger I had for my Mother. Eventually, I did forgive her and was able to put it behind me and move on with my life in a better direction. I married a wonderful man and started my own family. The true height of my forgiving heart came only after I had my own children and sadly she passed.Now where am I going with all of this you are wondering as you read. I think I have a lot of insight to share and have been given many "gifts" in my lifetime as Wayne Dyer might say.I want to share with all of you the journey I am partaking. This new found inner peace that has enveloped my soul makes my heart sing and my soul dance with joy! I wish everyone could feel the way I feel! So if you are interested in finding more joy and peace in your life I think what I have to say may interest you. This is My Story-my Life. Join me on my Journey.

Now most of you know "My Story" but I wanted to add this in here at Blogspot because I hope to find new readers who want to share in my growth and inspiration.
I'm still me, being a wife and Mom. I recently took up a part-time job as a waitress again during days when the kids are at school. I am enjoying the atmosphere and new friends I have made. Life is good. (wish I were the guys that sloganed that!!)
Hope everyone is well and in good health and peace!
