Whew!

I knew I'd been neglecting the blog for a while now, but I didn't realize it's been nearly a month since I last gazed upon my navel publicly. Sigh. I'd like to say I've been living the life . . . but in reality, I've just not really been into it. I'm all funkafied.

But, even though this was probably one of my more surreal holidays, I am feeling a tad bit less like my navel is the most fascinating thing ever. I know I've whined a lot (A LOT) in this past year. I didn't get my way on a lot of things, and that just isn't how I like to think my life goes.

And, I lost some precious things along the way.

But, despite all that . . . I have to say I'm still living a pretty damned charmed existence. I have amazing friends still. Perhaps not exactly like what I lost, but in many ways, more amazing.

The Phenom is terrific. Honestly, I'd be stark raving mad by now if not for the sweetness and affection and support of the Phenom.

I'm surrounded by humans and critters who not just love me. . . but let me know they love me. How many people can say that?

So, rather than vowing to eat more hot krispy kremes this year . . . I think I'll try to see beyond my own navel a bit more.
