Step Away From the Cake

So once again, blogging has saved me. After writing everything down last night, I realized that things are not as dire as they seem and that I found the root of the problem. So today I have a new attitude and it is a new beginning. I am inspired and motivated. And this is the reason, after 12 years, I still come here on a regular basis. I'm off to take on the day. More later.

When I sat down to blog yesterday, I was going to complain about how I feel. Then I thought I'd do a short recap of the past 3 months, and then I got tired.
