January is almost over and nothing from me. I could have taken the easy route and posted some resolutions. You know. Eat more vegetables. Learn to fly. Sign up for tap dancing, make a name for myself on Broadway. But I've been kinda quiet. Got the wind knocked out of me. Random Tuesday kind of shit and the fog is just lifting. I've been writing the past few days but nothing sticks. It's too new or too unsettled still. Proving hard to match with words. It's the uncomfortable of fitting in a new experience to who you thought you were. I didn't want it. But probably needed it. It's mixed with grief and shame and thankfulness. Stirring determination and grace. Willpower like a superhero. I didn't want a January like that to go by unmarked. Without so much as a hello. So, hi. Here's to new normals and lessons learned and growing up just a little.

Welcome back! You've been missed.
Welcome back.
Look forward to a time when your words return. When writing your thoughts and feelings sounds and feels good.
Lessons learned. Ouch.
hi.
the internet has been lonely without you.
if nothing else, you've either learned or reaffirmed that you've got willpower like a superhero, determination to spare, and grace overflowing.
Michelle: I've missed you, too! I've been bad at writing 'em and at reading 'em. I look forward to catching up with you.
Rusty: Thanks for the kind wishes.
Heather to the Feather: I like the idea that this was maybe reaffirmed instead of learned. Perhaps it's been in me all along. How are you? I shall find out by reading your blawg!!
I read this about 20 minutes after you posted, but I was tripping on Lortab from my dental surgury so I didn't reply.
And now that I'm sitting here at work, sullen and in pain, wishing I were at home tripping on Lortab, I still don't have any idea of what to say, other than I'm glad to see you writting to us again. :)
We may not pay, but we enjoy the goods anyway.
Jay: Ah, but you do pay. I get to read all your stuff. It's the barter system in full effect, minus the beaver pelts.
hee hee, you said beaver pelts.
hi.
Heather: HA HA - you said it too! I'm laughing. And pointing. See? SEE???
O'Grady: Dats cool. Twisting my stuff up like that is a good kind of teasing. Pulling my hair or calling me four-eyes ... eh ... not so much. (although... i'd probably like that too. shhh. don't tell anybody.)
