I admit it.
I miss TH, the email list.
I know, I know. Email is dead. Mailing lists are so 1990s. Facebook is it. Even Live Journal is so noughties.
But Facebook isn't where most of us really share what's happening with us, and I miss you people. A lot.
What's up with everybody? How are all of you?
I miss it too. :) TH was the first online community I ever joined, and all the others have been struggling to measure up ever since. ;P
Let's see, I left my husband two years ago, our divorce should be coming through in the next month or so. It has been quite a ride the last two years - lots of turmoil and difficulty, but I am starting to really be able to see that my life is going where I want it to go.
I've been writing and editing a lot, enough that now if you search me on Amazon you find me. Which is pretty nifty, and kind of makes me feel like a Real Writer (tm). ;) I've applied to do a diploma in publishing in Wellington next year, so if I get into that, I am hopeful that it's going to open a few doors and I'll be able to get a Real Job in the industry before Christopher starts school proper. Plus it'll get me out of freezing cold no sun Dunedin, which... well, that's long overdue.
Christopher is now three and a half, and is absolutely amazing. I thought I'd enjoy being a Mom, but I had no idea how much. I really do love it. It's the most rewarding thing I've ever done, and my kid is awesome. :D I know, I may be a touch biased, but other people who meet him seem to agree.
So things are tough, have been tough, but they're definitely getting better, and even though it has been pretty difficult, I feel like my life is heading in the right direction. So. Totes worth it. :D
Nice to see you all back in my inbox. <3!

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." Ralph Waldo Emerson.
