Happy Thanksgiving!!
last modified: Wednesday, November 24, 2010 (10:45:02 PM)
Been a looong time since I blogged here on RS. Overall, this has been a difficult year in many ways. Struggling with who I want to be and where I want my life to go -- silly, as I thought I would have answered all these questions a long time ago. But I suppose part of being human is to continually reevaluate and question. Struggling with health problems and issues. Struggling with the extra stress brought on by a horrible economy, rising bills, and less and less time in which to get all those "necessary things" done every day.

And yet, I have so much to be thankful for. I'm thankful for my family and friends. Thankful that I'm still able to find fun in this nutty hobby. Thankful that each day brings new promise and new chances. Thankful that I am alive to see those promises and chances develop.

Anyhow, I suppose I'm getting a bit too sappy there. The holidays do that to me, sometimes. Here's hoping my fellow, US-based cel collectors all have a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you all have many things to be thankful for in your lives, too. =)

Happy holiday back: and may it be restful and full of companionship. I too have had a rocky year, feeling in many ways increasingly isolated. That makes me more and more thankful for friends I still have and things I still can enjoy.

Thanks, Sensei and Kira! I hope you both had a great and restful holiday, too. Sensei: I know what you mean. It''s hard not feeling isolated at times, but I agree. That feeling makes continuing friendships even more precious. =)

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. ^_^ I''ve had a very rough year also and have done a lot of reevaluating lately. The loss of my little one still hurts but I''m thankful every day it gets better. I''m also thankful to know he had the best life I could give him. Health issues have been a forerunner this year in my family too. I''m thankful that I had another year with all of my remaining family and hope that it keeps up. Finally, I''m thankful for the many friends I''ve made in cel collecting. I know several will remain friends long past cel life.

I know it''s been a rough year for you, too, DT. I''m glad that things are at least getting better. Here''s hoping the coming year will be better, all around. *HUGS* I hope you had a good holiday. =)
