Hi everybody - I'm doing well. I've been on break and have had the opportunity to visit a number of friends. I'm getting some things together for the future. As always, I have been shopping like a fiend since it's really the only shopping I do all year long. I've a whole new wardrobe for all four seasons which always makes me giggle with pleasure. I've gone for the froo froo, girly look this year - all pinks and greens and ribbons and ruffles and such. I picked up some sexy red boots too which just makes me walk tall and proud. [:)] My eyes seem to have pretty much healed after surgery last summer - one last appointment next month (I hope!). I'm healthy although being back home, I've put on a couple of kilos. Other than that, my health is excellent. I've been able to help several of my friends through their surgeries while I've been here. It feels good to be able to help people particularly since they are all family of the heart. Career-wise, I've made some decisions about the next step in my life, and I'm actively writing some pieces I hadn't thought I would write. I seem to have a bit of a talent for a whole new genre, so I'm going with it. I've got an art project I'm working on with another artist. We are making a book for a community we are in. They will sell it to help people get scholarships. I'm proud of that. Really proud. Another group of people that are family of the heart, and it's good to be giving of myself to them. This sentence has been running through my mind a lot lately: You have a duty to this family. Having grown up in foster care and not being terribly close to my bio family, it's a new and kind of jolting thought. I do have a duty to the people I love. It's not a heavy thing like it is for some people. For me, it means that I have a place I belong, and that is a humbling and wonderful feeling. So there it is in my world. It's a sunny and happy place. And I'm with LaT on the LP front - you, lady, are a tease! best wishes, sunshine
