So.. We have internet capabilities again. And (not so coincidently) my hubby sent me an article on internet addictions. Not funny. Not funny at all.

I've been sitting here trying to think of something clever to say. But it's not happening. So much has been going on with me emotionally this month... that I kinda just feel tapped out.

This whole past year has been a huge learning experience for me. And .. kind of like the Taoist story ((http://www.renegadezen.com/zen-stories/maybe))... what seemed like bad things at the time, have turned out to be good... and visa versa.

I think that I have learned some very valuable lessons. Not the least of which is the importance of true friendship. So -- to all my true friends... kudos. And thanks being there.
