I spend a lot of time on my computer as I do some work here, so I am aware that I will see things that aren't always pleasant or uplifting, and certainly not newsworthy. For example, the reason for my posting this morning and trying, with grave difficulty, not to sound like a bitter old hag.
On the news feed for one of the popular, heck, it might be on all, news feeds...Bieber skatboarding shirtless! Click here for video.
Oh my word.
Make it a day, everyone, a great day, please.

Friends
I really like Maya Angelou. I not only like what she said, but I like how she said it. I like the tone of her voice, the pattern of her speech, her melody. I watch so very little TV now and I realize that Maya was one of the joys of seeing a talk show, an Oprah episode, an interview.
Progress, right? We get our news differently these days, have our conversations differently, consider our friendships differently. While I enjoy facebook to keep in touch with you and see your kids and grandkids, and share my family with you, I miss the physical, in person friendships. The call to see what I'm doing, the "lets go to...", the drop by,drop in. The pat of your hand on mine, our quick embrace, our long squeeze.
“No one can take the place of a friend, no one.”
― Maya Angelou

Where have I been all of my life?
So, Here's what's been going on with me, in case you are interested.
First, I left this blog for a while and started another, on different site and had to buy a domain and all sorts of interesting stuff ~ thought it would be more sophisticated. It was going okay but then I started receiving a ton, and I mean a 2000 pound onslaught, of spam. I tolerated that for about two weeks and then thought forget that nonsense and I began to lay low. Now, I'm done laying low as you just can't keep me down, you know? I refuse to be low.
Second, in the late winter, my doctor thought it best to tell me outright...after hinting at it for a couple years...that my blood sugar was too high, I was Type 2 thank you very much and needed to go on medication. I really haven't had a lot of issue in adjusting to this news, have been on whatever it's called for about three months and have lost a little bit of weight. Good news keeps on coming and I have a bit more energy and am moving forward. Don't feel badly for me. I'm dealing and being a good girl.
Finally, after giving it a lot of consideration and taking my time with my decision, I left my full-time job at Lubeznik Center for the Arts. Love that place and miss it almost daily (it's been two weeks) but I really wanted to be home, to be more flexible with my time and to be more involved in my personal life.
I realized a few things after having these pretty significant changes and happenings, along with a few others. I missed writing, I missed getting feedback...I missed thinking in some small way I brought a little light heartedness to you. I hope you are good. I am good and we'll be in touch, at least virtually!
