Thankful

[datan0de]

There's no other way to put it. This year has been hard. There have been problems I never would've anticipated a year ago, and others that had been brewing for some time have come to a head. I've come out of the past year with new scars, both outside and inside

Happy Thanksgiving!

You do deserve everything you have and more! All of you do!

I don't hit LJ much anymore and I'm not sure where I fit into your monkeysphere these days but I'm glad that you're in a positive place and have a surplus of things to be thankful for.

I don't hit LJ regularly either, but your place in my monkeysphere is permanently secured. *hug*

So how the hell have you been? I feel completely out of touch!

Doing Good!

New job, new car (zoom!).

Spending tons of time SCUBAing, kayaking, visiting parks, and other such pursuits.
Who ever thought I would come to be this outdoorsy. =p

...of course I offset this by engaging in a fair amount of girlie shopping.
Throw in some wine tastings, a celtic festival, and a ren faire or two and that covers a lot of it.

The only real down note of late was that my brother committed suicide by diving off of the Skyway in September so that was "fun".
...and it showed me that there are a lot of morbid ass ambulance chasers out there who have nothing better to do than speculate and report on such incidents on the internet.

Ho...ly...shit.

First and most importantly, I'm so very sorry to hear about your brother! That's simply awful, and I've seen how it can affect those left behind.

I've seen this because Keirston's mom committed suicide. By jumping off the Skyway. In September. (September 13, specifically) Keirston became a mom (!) less than a week later. She was counting on her mom to teach her how to be a mom, which makes the whole situation that much more tragic, but she seems to be doing a heroic job of carrying on.

*hugs!*
