Hey Heather. So sorry you've been so blue. All the stress, sole-responsibility, and not feeling settled nor supported in your new place much take such a toll.

But, slowly, you are getting there. And it takes time. AJ posted something to Cali recently, like enjoying the ride getting to the destination. Something to be said about the time... the space between... you know. That's where all the meat and potatoes are. It is the most challenging time, but, why can't we enjoy it? That's where real appreciation comes from. And I know you get it. You see the things, that often others over look, and appreciate them. Value them. Your time will come, my dear.

Weird that you feel sympathy pain? Nope. I have felt a lot of that. I think, for the first time, I have been able to temper it down. It makes things easier for me.

I totally get it, though. It is sad stuff.

Keep moving, Heather. Keep your head up, girl! You are an amazing woman.
