It doesn’t really feel like New Year’s Eve.
I have decided that it just doesn’t feel like New Year’s any more. Last year didn’t, and this year doesn’t either. Even though the new year will start in less than 11 hours, I don’t find myself with any sort of undue anticipation of the event, nor do I have any plans to do much…
New York Photos
For any of you who might be interested, I did manage to get some photos from the trip to New York last week posted to Flickr. Now that I’m done with all the traveling, at least for now, I should have more time to actually say something of interest around here. Soon…. Enjoy!
Regaining Focus

Whether we’ve talked about this personally, or if you’re simply holding this all in and trying to keep it together, I see you. I’m with you. We are together in this, and we should share the little bits of hope with each other. They may be hard to see, but the more of us who are dedicated to looking for them, and sharing them, the more of it we’ll draw strength from.
My Holiday Survival Tip
We all know that, as survivors and just about anyone else, the holidays can be fraught with all sorts of bad memories, awkward time spent with family, depression, and mourning for the family we never had. I’ve seen a number of folks listing tips for surviving the holidays, and I absolutely encourage all of you…
