How I am now...gracious and courageous!

  So after several weeks of self indulgence and self victimization that generally follows any emotionally difficult event...I began to see the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel...

So, when I began to venture out to stick my toe back into the waters a couple weeks ago, it's as if the universe sent me a flood of people and experiences to

You're on!

You are on! I'll definitly see you at the superhero b-day celebration. I'm going to try to pull off Lara Croft...Queen of badassness.

I think I'm free Sunday and/or Monday this week so far, but let me know what fits your schedule.

I spent much, much too long doing the former. An embarrassingly long time.
I am committed to doing the later now.

No need to be embarrassed. You gotta ge the former out of the way before you can do the latter. Takes awhile sometimes, but we got nothin' but time. Hugs!

Yeah, but when you've spent the kind of time I have naval gazing and thinking of your self as holier than thou, it's kind of humbling to realize that your sh!t smells as bad as the next guy and you don't really have it together as much as you'd like to think you do.

But thanks. You are right, I've got time and there really is no need for embarrassment...just some humility, introspection, and some laughter about it all will do the trick.

Welcome back to the future. Joie de vivre, still intact. It wasn't a long time, just enough experience for you to get the message. I hope. Long time, no see. Last time we bumped into each other, I was quite ill. I only had to give up milk products to get well. I am thinking of all the new things I get to try instead of that which was hurting me, as much as I loved them. Good by Promise Land, hello new,better,at least, different manas. I am getting a new place on Kinney on the 15th. Staying in the hood. Please come find me when you are free. I'll be next door to 604 playing with colors on Gemmas exterior for a week or two. Evenings are completely free, but as I work for myself, anytime you have the time, so do I. Make it so.

I spent Monday looking all over the 78704 neighborhood for ya. What's your schedule this Friday? We have to swap burningman tales and advice.

Thanks for the kind words!

Funny how, to me, these things tend to go in cycles. Right now, I'm not feeling terribly productive or energetic. Sort of like: okay, I'm stretching out a bit, suiting up and showing up, and I still feel like "Why am I doing this? Nothing will change, and no one will notice."

Puzzling, frustrating, self-defeating. Waah.

I'll be okay. I'm always okay.
