I think that almost everyone who reads this blog knows that life has not been kind to me recently. Without giving away personal details that I'm not sure I want out there on the internet, I will just say that the past few weeks have been painful and very emotional. Since this was something that I wanted to keep private, the suffering has unfortunately also had to be private. I won't minimize the support that I have received from family and friends because I truly appreciate every call and message that I received, but I will say that I'm disappointed that some of the people that I love the most in this world didn't even bother to check to see if I was okay. Is it really so hard to send an e-mail to ask how I am?
Fortunately, life has returned mostly to normal quite quickly. There are still some nights that I just want to throw a massive pity party, but I do my best to minimize actually giving in to the impulse to feel sorry for myself. I keep trying to remember that there are a whole lot of people in this world that have it way worse than I do. I have a lot to be thankful for, and the bad things really aren't so bad in the grand scheme of things at all.
