God, has it been this long?

Kay, thank you for that comment. I didn't even know anyone commented! I'm glad you stuck it out, too.

So.. here I am. I've graduated with my MFA in Poetry, I'm in my apartment, decorated just the way I like it. I am greeted by Callie's trills when I come home.

And work? Something I never thought I'd be doing.

I'm an activities director for Alzheimer and dementia residents at an assisted living home. That job fills my heart up and I almost feel guilty for getting paid to love people who want nothing more than to be loved.

Through the summer, Alex and I saw each other frequently... going out and having a good time...staying in and having too good of a time if you know what I mean.

But just this week, we met and discussed the future.

And we are split. For good.

I know it's for the best, but like I said, my heart is in splinters. He was all I had for three and a half years. He's my only best friend in Madison.

Now comes the time when I have to reach out and meet new people. I'm not in search of Mr. Right right now. Of course not. I need to heal and learn to love ME -- but some new friends would be grand.
I am currently Blessed
I am listening to crickets outside
