Day 79

I know.

I have fallen down on the job here.

I got out of the habit when I was on vacation, and since I got back... Well, it's been kinda wacky. I have had a hard time being home. I mean, I am glad to be home, and I am glad for the myriad comforts of home, but... I don't know. I felt like I needed a reality decompression or something. The weather hasn't helped all that much, either, I am sure.

I've been in a kind of holding pattern, with the things for which I am grateful, and while I do know that it is important to have a solid appreciation for the basics... Well, it's kinda boring to me to be all "yep, I have awesome people!" or whatever, you know? And though I very much have been wanting to get down to the business of profiling all of those people for whom I am grateful, the time to do so simply hasn't materialised. I mean, I'm writing this of my own volition, and it's not like I make mad ducats when I do this (or, y'know: any), so it has to take a backseat, sadly.

But: be not afraid! I have many, many people for whom I want to do this. In looking over the past two weeks, it's been "people! people! people!" and no delineation of same. And really, they do make my life so much more palatable.

This very moment, though, what I am grateful for is:

-- the snow and ice appear to be turning directly to water. The ice pellets that were on the roof of my car are now all gone, and it merely looks wet.

-- that my life is full enough I haven't had time to sit and compsoe much of anything of value due to having been on the move. That's actually pretty rad.

I will admit though, I hit a bit of a manic spell a few months back, and I think right now, I am in the natural counterpoint to that. I'm sure I'll be back to normal soon enough, though!
