i forget - forgot? - that sometimes, relationships really do require effort. it's challenging for me to gracefully back down when a huge bump comes up in my normally smooth road. but, the thing about bumps is, they're over with pretty quickly. i do wish i was better on the graceful part though ( Read more... )

wow... i didn't mean for a week (more or less) to pass by before posting again...

i've been working. which is good. i heart working. i feel very blessed to have work right now and i'm not looking said horse in the mouth.

it's definitely been a transitional time for me, moving from a very part-time, partly-productive mentality back to a full-time, ( Read more... )
