It’s been a shitty year. Divorce will do that. Yeah, I’m over it for the most part, but I know my head and heart still really aren’t in the game. There are still too many things in my life that remind me of her, at a time when I’d rather simply forget she ever existed.
So I thought a change of scenery would so me some good. A big change of scenery. A “let’s go to the opposite side of the country” change of scenery. I’m taking a week off and going to visit my sister in California. I’m going to enjoy the sunshine. I’m going to walk on the beach. I’m going to help out in my sister’s candle business.
I’m going to party my ass off.
When I come back, hopefully it will be with a better attitude towards life in general, and blogging in particular. I’d gotten into a groove with this blog for awhile, and then I got side-tracked with the atheists (yeah, I know, blame the atheists for everything, why don’cha?). On top of that, I’m a bit of a manic depressive, and a depressive period usually follows a manic one, which is where I’m at right now. I just haven’t felt like writing much. Hopefully, when I come back, that will have changed.
It always makes my day when I see comments on my posts. Hopefully some of what I have written has made you think, or smile, or cry.
But no matter what, it’s been fun knowing all of you. See you all (hopefully) in a week.

Take the time you need Mr. Smith. All the best shrinks in the world praise personal time and space. They can’t all be wrong. Take in the sun, embrace the family, both physically and emotionally, and come back to us whole and renewed. We’ll wait for you.
Peace.
Hope you have a real adventure. Bring back at least one picture, okay?
go have yourself a good time darlin… and make sure to remember to find your ass and bring it back when you are done partying it off.
Ah man, dont you know how much I’d love to find my way into your suitcase and make my way back to Cali for a few .. *sigh* But it seems you need some good quality time with yourself, your thoughts, your family, your whatever will make you feel whole again.
Have a good time, be careful. Bring me back somethin’ good, why don’tcha? :]
