Hiya, Plant. Glad to hear your life's keeping you busy that you're feeling like you may be on an uphill swing. I know these past months haven't been easy for you, and I often think about you and wonder how you are and whether you've heard from your poor dad.

I'm basically OK. Sad about the situation here at home, of course. My sister is getting very close to the end of her illness now. It'll be a matter of days or, at the most, weeks. But I feel at peace that she will soon be out of pain. I don't want to lose her, but I don't want her to keep suffering with cancer. I feel a little torn in too many directions right now, what with nursing her and trying to go to school, too. But all in all, I'm handling it OK. I'll probably fall apart after it's over. I'm trying to keep feeling my feelings and expressing them so they don't build up and overwhelm me.

Nice talking with you, Plant. Thanks for asking a very therapeutic question.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . How's Life? Just wonderin'. My life's starting to pick up, so that means less and less time spent here, my humble online residence. I've been in quite the funk the past couple months, but honestly, I feel things are beginning to sway another direction. Life doesn't seem as drab and dull as it used to, which allows me to appreciate ME. Appreciate my being, and everything and everyone around me. Now mind you, this is without smoking for some 3 weeks. Quite the shock, indeed. A true revelation Rating: 5
