H just moved out, 13 months post-bomb

[Dawn of Hope]

Thanks, Mishka! No, I'd rather have anniversaries of my M, but we'll take what we can get, eh?

I'm in the process of arranging to get together with friends in a few weeks, and hopefully will be able to do likewise with other friends sooner than that. It's an effort that doesn't really come naturally to me (even before this whole M mess) but it's one of the 180s I have been working on. Sometimes I think I am not progressing fast enough in becoming the person that God intended me to be, because there are still so many areas in which I have backslid or not really gotten any changes off the ground. But I am trying to take that feeling with a grain of salt, because I know I tend to have extraordinarily high standards for myself (my piano teacher, who has been in the business for at least 50 years and taught thousands and thousands of people, says I am harder on myself than anyone she has ever met!).

I've finally admitted to myself that I've been hibernating and not really getting anything done over the last few days, reading and vegging and going to bed late. Fortunately I don't have any paying work that needs doing that is being ignored, but there are nevertheless things that would be in my best interests to do now rather than waiting until I'm panicky, like the necessary work on my website that is about five years overdue.

So...time to get off the computer and go make progress with something!

Peace,
Dawn
