Hi groupies, I've been away from the boards for a while. Had some family stuff to deal with and then some personal medical stuff to deal with, along with the everyday stuff. I'm finally starting to feel like my feet are under me again and I'm not quite so overwhelmed (most days). I also feel the "let's get this figured out" voice starting to get louder and louder in the back of my head (it was blessedly quiet while everything else got sorted out). I'm reading a book called And the Dark Sacred Night. One of the characters is a gay man who died of AIDS 20+ years before the main story of the book happens. One line of dialogue of his that has stuck with me is "I have to be selfish. And honest. And get away from the bullsh*t". Well, I can't get away from the bullsh*t. Not completely. But I think I have to be selfish. And honest. So, that's where I am tonight. Mulling over "selfish" and "honest".
