(no subject)

Recently work has been hard, the economy and war news have been in my face, and i've been distracted thinking about how to be a good family member and friend. I've been distressed about problems my friends are having, both large and small; i want to be able to bring a smile to their faces and can't fix anything. I've been reminded that it is the year anniversary of a close friends death, and that i forgot to write to her sons with my support. I've woken up a few times in the past week with nightmares, and spent a long time reading about the damage sonar causes to whales.

Somehow, through all of that, i held on. But, somehow, the email i just received detailing the deaths in the Nutmeg (ballet school) alumni collection last year has brought tears to my eyes. It must be the proverbial straw.

Sigh. So... moving on:
