It seems like I've been gone for a lifetime, and still many of you are here and make this wonderful community. I'm in awe. My last post was in Jan 2019. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/update-15

Since then, life really sent me to places I've never knew before. It's been a roller coaster with insane highs and severe lows. I would not want this on my worst enemy, but I'm finally sort of getting back on track. I've been struggling with health issues and just recently started working again. It's far from full time, but baby-steps is the way to go.
My three boys have all grown taller than me (firstborn has moved out) and the co-parenting is as smooth as it can be. After all, I am blessed. 

The best part of these chaotic years is that I made wonderful new friendships that led me to fall in love with bouldering/climbing and working out. Physical activity is now my no. 1 go-to receipt for feeling better no matter what life brings on. I’ve never been in better shape since early thirties. As a teen, I loved climbing in trees, playing handball and cycling. My legs were always bruised and I never cared because the bruises were signs of me having fun. Getting my body moving reminds me of my young self and it feels grounding and healing.

Stylewise, I've been way more casual and partially living in workout clothes. Jeans and a white tee has been my go-to outfit. I've purged a lot in my closet, but also kept items designated for work, although I’m changing direction and don’t quite know yet where my next stop will be. Some items might not come into play again, but I'll hold on to them a little longer. My weight has been fluctuating quite a bit, hence I've kept items that are one size wrong. I’m grateful that my wardrobe can take me through anything quite easily. I've also gone through a few different hair styles, from long/black to short/blond to now orange.

Anyways, I'm glad to slowly make a return and I'm so, so happy to see so many of you from back then still being active members. It's really heartwarming.
