So...

... balance and perspective are slooowly being restored to my psyche -- and y'all's sweet comments and good wishes and love had a lot to do with that. Thank you. So much.

Am trying to restart the right side of my brain -- you know, where all that crazy bountiful creative stuff is generated. In that spirit, I'm jumped into a quick little exercise called Friday Fill-Ins.

1. Snow? What is that? We only hear about it in the land where I'm from...

2. I'm looking forward to not setting my alarm tomorrow morning.

3. Grape NEHI is the best soda ever!

4. One of my favorite old tv shows is The Dick Van Dyke Show. And Ellery Queen. And That Girl. Why must you make me choose only one? *sobs*.

5. I'm done with negative self-talk (Hey! I'm working on it -- that's gotta count for something, right?.

6. The most enjoyable thing around the holidays is that slightly cliched phrase, but always true Reason for the Season.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to dinner with my family, including my parents and my two beautiful nieces, tomorrow my plans include sleep, watching the GATORS win the SEC Championship, winter cleaning Will's room and writing on the NaNo project; and Sunday, I want to simply exhale!
