Long overdue

Six years is a long time. One of my favorite songs by The Indigo Girls has a line, "Every five years or so, I look back at my life and I have a good laugh." Now I'm laughing. I wouldn't have said that in ten months ago, or six months ago, or even last month. There are so many things that have occurred in the last six years that have impacted my life in such major, life-altering ways. I got engaged, married and divorced. I've lost a parent. I've moved.  I've started a new job. All those life stressing events and most of them were in the last nine months. Shit- I'm lucky I'm still standing upright and forming complete sentences. Oh, I have my moments, curled up in my bed, avoiding reality for hours until I hit a socially acceptable time to give up and go to bed for the night. My hopes are that the following day will be better. That somehow that fog of depression and hopelessness will ease.  Some days it does. And as a single girl, again, here are my chronicles.
