Thank you, so much, for all your wonderful support in my previous entry. It is great to know I am heard when I blog here and people support me. I am lucky to have wonderful people in my life, and I am even luckier that they let me know they support me. Again, thank you.

These last few days have been a little rough on me. At the risk of sounding melodramatic (because we all know — well, I do and some of you do, anyway — how good I am at being melodramatic from time to time!), I’m going to say this: the next few months/years will be hard on me and my family. I am trying to muster as much positive energy as I can in preparation for this and I don’t know how I will be able to do it without your continuing love and support throughout this crazy time in my life. I’m consciously giving something up that I don’t want to give up, but in the end it may be something healthy for me. I don’t want to go into details because I want to keep it relatively sacred from prying eyes and ears.

I was talking to my good friend and coworker Martha today. She helped me gather my thoughts together. It is good to have girlfriends. Basically, the only people I talked to about this today were my girlfriends and Dave. After hearing myself talk for a while (like, actually hearing my own voice and what I was saying — does that ever happen to you?), I realized I was leading to a decision in my life.

I just now have to live with that decision when the time comes.
