 Such a Long Break
It has been a very long time since my last entry. Things have progressed, weekly. I am still working out daily, eating SUPER healthy, changing my work schedule (formally), and adding more writing and illustrating to my daily life. I continue to perform, classically, and am even getting some of my passion back for it (it has been waning for some time). I have also taken a teeny leap and dyed my hair a bit darker from the last time (as you can see in the dusky profile pic.). I don't like to dye my hair very often, but I have started to notice grey hairs. I always thought I wouldn't mind becoming a salt and pepper girl, growing old gracefully, etc., etc.  Well, I am not prepared for that at age 36. I feel much younger, so I am choosing to look it. This includes drinking more water, more regularly than ever before. Clear skin is a girl's best friend, NOT diamonds.

Lots of things are coming into view for me. If only the economy would pick up a tiny drop... well, nothing we can do about that at the moment. No point in dwelling.

I just wanted to touch base with those who keep up with me. I have been posting sporadically, and in private, since that DOOF decided to get all outspoken about my life before really examining my posts and what they said about me. I figured I would take a bit of my space and freedom back and post to everyone tonight.

My most recent interest/obsession has been Mt. Everest. It has always fascinated me, but recently, it has become a symbol of life's journeys and the ability of human being to overcome the seemingly insurmountable. I devour all facts about it, movies, books... I think it is a great icon of accomplishment for anyone who feels that they have to overcome frightening or trying times. I have just been through an emotional catharsis, dealing with the abuses of the past, and I have survived it with more determination than ever to be HAPPY in this life. I keep my faith and my family as close as I can. It is never effortless, but it is well worth it. I am blessed, and I thank God every single day (happy day or crappy day). I am grateful.

I hope everyone here at Thoughts is doing well, healthwise, and in other ways. Please drop me a line and let me know.

Happy week!
