Still alive

[Heather B.]

Greetings, APers!  It's been a while, hasn't it?

Just wanted to pop in and say hey to all you lovely people, and let you know I'm still here and doing pretty well for the most part.  Currently, I am enjoying the quiet season of Lent, and using it as a period of discernment for myself... reflecting on my life and my faith, and discerning where I may be headed next and what I should do with myself.  I feel like I'm at a turning point.  I feel there are many possibilities and many things to do... I need to set some priorities.

No remarkable astral activity to speak of, although I do half-remember a talk I had with Patrick the other night.  April 28 will be a year since he passed.  I got the impression that he was gently, lovingly giving me a push forward, telling me not to worry about him any more, and to make the most of my future.  I felt a very gentle, but unmistakable separation of some kind.  Not a real separation, but... more like a release.

I'm fine with it.  There have been so many positive changes in my self and my life.  I finally escaped a nearly-year-long horrible work situation (did I ever mention the work situation?).  It can be summed up as new widow + new mother = worst seating arrangement possible!  Almost a year of constant distress... while trying to work.  BUT it's over now!  I'm a free woman, surrounded by wonderful, loving coworkers.  I can't tell you what a burden has been lifted from me!

That plus a new and rather intriguing relationship with God has given me many nights of utterly peaceful sleep.  And some interesting mental activity that I really can't describe... I just seem to be doing an awful lot of thinking in my sleep lately.  But I wake up feeling like a million dollars every day, so whatever it is, it's a good thing!

Well, I probably won't be around here much for a while longer.  But I hope everyone is well, and if anything really cool happens, I'll let you know!  

You can visit my LiveJournal if you want to know what I'm up to... I try to update it at least once a week.  Em, but it's not very interesting, really.  *sigh*
