Hey, Watchers!

It's been such a long time since I've posted a journal! I literally had to re-learn how to use a journal skin again. :XD:  How are you?

My time is still very limited, though I have a bit more now than I had anticipated having. I have pulled out of a few groups (sorry) and stepped down as an Admin for others (again, sorry). It's not you-- it's me. I want to focus my very limited attention on just a few special groups that I am so lucky to be a part of.

I also helped sponsor the Halloween event this year, though I did not run it. I am so proud of the work the leaders at Halloween-HQ did there! :heart:  It really is not easy to design and run this contest, and they did a brilliant job at doing so.

mental-health needs our attention, as this is a very trying time on the emotions and behaviors of many people around the world. I think I'm just so stunned and, frankly, disgusted that I don't feel like talking about mental health issues in public. I had always tried to share my own experiences with others on DA in hopes of helping people feel they are not alone, but I'm just not sure this is the forum for it anymore. What do you think?

DA is a very special place. In these times, I cannot trust some of my "real life" family and friends or even my Priest, and in real life it really seems like hate is winning. But, on DA, there is a lot of positive energy, and you can connect with people all over the world who can encourage you to try one more time. I think that's why so many of us keep coming back  even after sometimes feeling like there is nothing left for us here. There is always a friendly word or kind gesture, and I want you to know how much I appreciate all of you for that.

Last week was really shitty for a lot of us, especially Americans, but it begins anew tomorrow with another chance at finding peace in the face of a very chaotic world. So, in the name of "peace"-- or at least a sense of resignation and determination to fight for what is right-- I ask you:

What good news do you have to share? Has anything wonderful and positive happened for you recently?

Let's celebrate the Light together in the face of all this darkness. 


:heart:

I'm going home this weekend and won't be returning to university until Wednesday night. I've missed my family including my mum, step dad and my two dogs so it will be really nice to see them.
