Hey friends! I'm back...mostly lurking as I try to catch up on ALL the ACTIVITY going on here! Yowza...miss a week or two and wonderful threads are popping up all over the place with tons and tons of responses! I'm gonna have to take a speed reading course!

I'll post more tomorrow...the short version: Holidays were wonderful...lots of together time with h...I've been feeling mighty blue, though...conjuring up some bad memories combined with the fears of opening my heart to h not AGAIN but perhaps for the first time, ever...h sensed my sadness...and we had an r talk the other day...it was SCARY for me but it helped us both to move some steps forward, I think. I'm feeling much calmer and the NY's goals (formerly known as resolutions!) are going really well!

Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts while I was gone...you all were in mine, too!
