Thanks for the messages, I hadn't checked my own thread in a bit since things are kind of slow on my side of the street. I texted my W a short video of Woofie on NYE and wished her well, she replied with the same and that was that. No further contact between us although she has asked that we have the D paperwork all signed and sorted out by the time I leave at the end of the month.
I'm still going to be popping in now and again when I can, too many people here have been my lifeline to just pull up and head out without saying anything or catching up on threads. After being her for 8 months I feel like an old timer and still wonder about so many of the folks that joined when I did - Bob, Dif, HeavyD. Good people fighting for their M's.
My old business is officially done and I'm working some great new stuff, doing a lot of blogging and garnering social media interest in my little trip. It's still wild to me to realize that doing what I'm doing now is what I always wanted to do and on that level I'm infinitely happier than I've ever been in my life. I truly do feel blessed that I get to follow my calling, despite the pain and agony of last year. To think this time last year BD hadn't even happened and I was getting fattened up by my WAW for the kill!
I know that 2016 is going to bring fresh people to this board, people who's lives have been ripped out from under them. My heart breaks reading their threads and remembering the panic, the anxiety, and the emotional brutality of what they're going through. So much awfulness.
My desire is that 2016 also brings peace to so many of us that have worked the DB path, that have dived in headfirst to our own psychologies, our issues, and our deficiencies. In addition to shining the spotlight on our strengths, our talents, and the graces that we carry with us. There are so many good people on here, fighting a fight that is fueled by pain and has no guarantee of anything but self knowledge. It's humbling to witness.
Big hug to all,
PP
