****'s hitting the fan again in my life right now, and I am grateful for this thread. It keeps my head in perspective.
Right now I am massively grateful for my awesome parents. I am also super happy to have the boyfriend I do. We'll be dating for a month tomorrow, and while it's still a hugely fledgling relationship, I've gotten more support and respect from him than I ever had in the 3.5 years I dated my ex. I feel like he's my partner, not someone who's settled for me (even though my ex was very kind in some ways).
I'm also happy that I'm learning Illustrator fairly well and am doing a Flash animation again. I like making things move. It has a kind of magical sense to it.
I'm SUPER happy that it's green and colorful out, too! It might be rainy right now, but I look outside and the Northwest is waking up. I love it!
