Past and future
Past: I'm grateful to pocketlama for so much in 2007. Currently I'm grateful that meeting him spurred me to reactivate my LJ account and to connect with and pay attention to friends this way. It's been nice to keep in touch with the lives of people I already knew and care about but too seldom see. I've also enjoyed meeting new people on LJ. Virtual community is part of my daily life now.
Future: One of my goals for 2008 is to post here more often: specifically, at least once a week. Feel free to prod me. :)
Past: The second half of 2007 was one of the most challenging periods of my life. Addressing pocketlama's mental and physical health challenges without standard insurance pretty much took everything we had and more: time, energy, focus, attention, faith, and love. People I never expected came out of the woodwork to support us in ways beyond our dreams. Every bit of the effort was and is worth it for reasons beyond expression, and I feel incredibly blessed. Still, I missed being as involved and in touch with many of my friends as I'm used to. I want everyone to know that I think of you many, many times with gratitude and love, regardless of whether we've spoken or e-mailed recently. Our friendship over the years is a foundation that I leaned on heavily as I supported pocketlama. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Future: In 2008 and beyond, I want to re-connect with people I've lost regular touch with and connect more frequently with the rest of you. Now I just have to figure out how and when... oh, that's right -- BIRTHDAY PESTO AT MY PLACE IN APRIL! :)
