I’ve been off-line for a couple of days, enjoying some vacation time with the wife. Tonight we’re in Boone, NC with free wi-fi so I’m spending just a little bit of time getting caught up on some things. One of those things is pointing out that the October Edition of the Carnival Against Child Abuse is up. Check it out for some interesting reads.
At least, that’ll give you plenty to read while you wait for me to have some more writing time. 🙂
One of the recurring themes I noticed in the holiday edition of the Blog Carnival was in the area of how to deal with the holidays as a survivor.
