Many moons have risen and set since my last visit. Right now it's 6:14 a.m. and I have no reason to be up this early...I have the day off, after all. But it's nice to come back here, peruse old works and see the creations my favorites have made.

Much has changed since my last entry. This year's been great so far. I found a good job, made plans to return to school and finish my degree (in English), met new people, made new friends or got re-connected with old ones, improved my health considerably (I am now the healthiest I've ever been), and developed a close friendship (and ultimately a romantic relationship) with a wonderful man. Six days from now, we'll celebrate our six-month anniversary and he'll be here for a few days. I am incredibly excited. I have grown a lot (emotionally and mentally) since last year and I am thankful for all the lessons I've learned and the blessings in my life.

I hope you are all doing well. May you be happy, safe, healthy and loved.
