Hey, I just wanted to let you know I feel much better and thank you for all the kind thoughts and well wishes.
I spent the last five or six days putting in over forty hours on my feet at work in a fast paced environment, kids starting soccer, have to deal with that four days a week for the next however long, got yardwork and so much shit to do, which is actually good. Distracted me, and so I didn't have much time to spend dwelling, and I feel really good. I'm rather chipper today actually, it's disgusting.
And I am so proud of myself! I wrote in pencil over ten pages of a story, which requires ten more to get the basic building blocks of the story down, a couple of those pages I've already typed up and edited, 2,000 words which read too fast so I have to go back and fill in words to slow down the pace, which means, all told, when I'm done this story it could be about thirty thousand words, and it's a short story!
I am just so damend proud, I've always wanted to get around to it, and I hope this is the start of a period of writing for me. Maddog was always waiting for me to write my story, but this isn't going to be my novel, it's just a short story designed to get me back in practice, to get my imagination working again, and all that, to remember how to find words for everyday things like actions and stuff, so, after having periods of years of reading, after having periods of interest in internet discussion, my mind needs something constantly to do apparently, I hope I am in a writing period.
I picked up my guitar, I am improving and am starting to practice faster chord transitions. Oh, how I want so badly to sit there and just be able to play, my favorite songs and then hopefully my own songs.
So, things are well, I miss some of my friends and hope to see them again, unfortunately the dog is still here and I still have to deal with it, but other than that, things are looking good.
I feel bad having felt bad about my issues in comparison with what Leesifer is going through, quite frankly, but.......I hope you are doing well Leesifer if you read this, and if you want some help with stress management, and hope or what have you, don't know if I could help, but would try if you wished.
We need some activity around here, keep our minds amused!
I'm so jealous, my mother-in-law is in Georgia for a thingy and my cousin is moving to Berlin for two years to continue her religious studies, her specialty being Judaism. I'm gonna have hook up with her over there one day, hopefully she'll dig up some family ties over there and around there, that would be so cool!
Thanks,
Peace,Luv
