As part of my November self-improvement efforts, Jen has taken me under her wing and started a daily dose of gently prodding me in the ass. As I have mentioned before, she has more get up and go than most people can ever dream of possessing. So I am grateful that she is sharing her energies and helping me to get my shit together. She motivates me in the nicest of ways; she tells me what’s up without reminding me that to figure what is actually up, I’ll have to extricate my head from my anal region and actually open my eyes.
As I am opening my eyes, I am reminded of just how many things make me happy. Listening to harvested music while I cut and paste in Photshop makes me happy beyond reason. Seeing the colors and images I have created and manipulating them to whatever grabs me is also a deep happiness. Poking around on the internet and finding images to create more things also makes me giddy. Mostly I am a visual person; colors make me smile and pretty things give me peace.
The last year has been so horribly awful that I have forgotten what gives me peace. I am so grateful to Jen for encouraging me to get out of bed and open my eyes. Jen, I know you have other visions in mind for what I am pasting together, but more than anything it is an opportunity to help me crawl out of this hole and start breathing again. Thank you so much.

Oh wow, holy shit, thank you your very own fine self!
I heart you.
2006 is very nearly over.
And yes, it was an awful year for you. I’m so glad you’re beginning to find some happiness.
Not anonymous – me.
I agree with Ann.
I think we all need that friend to prod us in the ass at times so that we can see things in a different light, make more of an effort, whatever it takes.
Don’t forget to give yourself props for getting through this year and taking care of yourself and the kids.
