a new year

Yep, right here at the end of August, a new year begins. My third year of study at NPC; my eleventh year of teaching at OTS. Both are fabulous and bring me lots of happiness. For this I am grateful.
This particular week marks a very sad time, as I lost my precious friend Michael on September 3, 2009. I remain in disbelief. My abandonment button is always at the ready and it is huge, but losing Michael would never have been insignificant. Someday perhaps I can redirect this energy that is just sadness and loss to something light hearted..I hope so. For now, I cry and I wonder.
I am also thankful to have known him.

Gratitude is an easy reach; one of God's blessings. May I let it touch the inner turmoil and keep the wolves that want to overwhelm me at bay.
