Been a While

I guess because I've been keeping various logs and journals that are very private, I've neglected this blog. I think I just got so isolated that I couldn't really handle talking about what was going on in my life. 

It's been a challenging year. I've had a lot of things change for me and I've had to be really, really brave at times. I think I've gotten better about that and hopefully it's something that will increase in the new year.

Today is my birthday and I'm turning 52. That's older than I ever thought I would be but not so old that I get the nifty discount meals or the ability to live in the nifty communities. The day has left me feeling oddly vulnerable. A lot of people reached out to wish me a happy birthday but some very notable people did not. I'm trying not to dwell on that last part or read too much into it, but it's difficult.

Tomorrow is Christmas and I'm spending it with my roommate and my stepmom. It should be fun, actually. Hopefully everything goes well.

Wherever you are out there, I wish you happy days full of light and laughter.
