Small Steps

I started a new painting today- any guesses? I would have gotten a lot further, but along came a migraine, threatening to put me out of commission. Luckily, I was able to escape it's evil grasp by napping and ice packs for 2 hours. I definitely did not want a repeat of Saturday and Sunday. All of you migraine free people, count yourselves truly lucky. There are times when I would give ANYTHING not to have another migraine.

It's hard to believe that there are only 16 days left in the year. Time truly has flown this year, more than most it seems. This year I have had the opportunity to make new friends and really reconnect with family and friends that I had lost touch with over the years. There have been ups, and there and been downs- all in all I am thankful for a good year. I have a partner who loves and cares about me, great friends, and an extended family that truly reminds me of how lucky I am. Thanks to all of you for sticking by me this year, I know it can be difficult with all the mood swings and I know I can be an ass sometimes. Now that I am medicated, it's harder to blame it on my mental failings, but I will still try- I promise! But really, thanks to you all- you're in my life because you're special and I care about all of you a great deal.
