Don’t misunderstand me.

Because I tend to use blogging as an emotional outlet, one gets the impression that I’m unhappy.  Actually, that couldn’t be further from the truth these days.  Sure, the depression demon has taken its toll on me through the years, but I can tell you I’m happier than I ever have been with my new career and my home life.  Over the past few years, I’ve taken some risks I never thought I’d take.  Not sure why God has continued to smile down on me for so long but I’m thankful beyond what mere words can express.  How long will it last?  I don’t know, but I’m sure going to enjoy the ride while it lasts.  With so much ugliness all around, it’s amazing to be able to feel this way.  I want to be there for those who are hurting if they need me, and now I feel I can handle it.

I’m also aware that some of my recent decisions and actions have helped to spin the karmic wheel in my direction, so to speak.  Heck yeah, I’m gonna take some of the credit.  I’m proud of Randy and myself for standing strong.  The payoff is worth it.

That is all.
