Too busy having grace to post?

Haha, yeah. Well, I haven't posted since Feb 22.

But things in my emotional life have definitely taken a turn upwards.

It's family, friends, warm weather, sunshine and time. My recipe for shaking off this particular bitter, that is, the latest covering of bitter I've been wearing.

Weekly Recap: #1

It's been my first week of this thing (Jan 26 - Feb 1) I'm fleshing out. (And I'm 2 days late with this recap!)

So far, I've decided to note one thing every day that may be small, but which is a good thing. Because noting the good things (consciously!) is definitely a good way to avoid/escape/combat embitterment.
