That's a very nice idea!

All the art you post, both your pieces and pieces by other artists that you admire, make your journal one of my must-reads. Remember your trip to Mexico? I remember when you first posted about it, and it seemed far away and not quite tangible, but you pulled it off and had a great time, with excellent pictures to share. I hope you will take this the right way when I also say you are like a Mary Gaitskill heroine whose story just isn't written yet. Existence is excruciating sometimes, but you have an acute eye for beauty, and on another note, I also love your pet picture posts!

You came out of your marriage stronger and with a firm sense that your happiness and sanity are not up for compromise. You were not too proud to accept help, but you also helped yourself. You also have the consolation that by far you did everything you possibly could have done. The person you actually end up with will be lucky to have your love, and you know there are worse things than being technically alone, which gives you the power of choice.

I'm doing this wrong, but, I always read and enjoy your poems. I really like them but I can never think of anything to say so I'm saying it now.

Well, thank you! If you like something you can always jut do one of these :) or give it a nose if you really like it :-)

You are an awesome person because you entirely changed your life, lifestyle, and job when things were just too stressful. Voluntary downsizing, purification, finding what will make you feel better even if it defies conventional wisdom. Sometimes you get lost or hurt your poor foot, but even when it doesn't feel that way, you are a survivor.

hi there!

Knowing how long you've been with Nick and that you sometimes have problems but can reconnect and still enjoy doing things together gives me hope! Thank you for posting the good and bad things here. I can tell that you put your relationship at the top of your list, and that takes a person with a special heart!

You also keep looking for a bright side or light at the end of the tunnel, not that you're always an optimist, but when things are sucking, you are looking for solutions.

Thank you for the hug. The virtual ones are just as good as the physical ones in my book.

Smart and sexy, resourceful, and freespirited in a way that just means you make your own way and own rules. You're going to be a great massage therapist!

Your search for happiness is what impels you to rise against whatever darkness surrounds you; it isn't that you always get what want or that what you wanted always turns out how you planned, but it's that you're willing to find the strength to move, change jobs, try new arts, adopt pets, and make friends even when those things don't come easily to you.
