10,000 Views ~ Thank You!

Even Nico is excited about all the views!

I know I haven't been keeping up on my posts very well lately but things have been quite stressful. Health has been an issue for me & my loved ones as I have mentioned in previous posts. Not to be a whiner, but I had to go to the hospital for a very bad upper respiratory infection, I actually found out a LOT of people in my area, (now even my poor 93 year old Grampy,) have gotten them this Summer because of the wildfires, (so much bad smoke & such!) One day the smoke had traveled down so far you couldn't even see down the road  - it was as thick as fog.

Terrible fires in Manton, Ca, that destroyed so much forest & even homes - not far from me

I also sprained my thumb really badly in a freak household accident. X-ray's showed no breakage, but it's really swollen & I can't move it. Sometimes it hurts so bad it keeps me up at night. I also have been taking care of a loved one for the last few months - dealing with all the appointment making for them & their health care issue. So all in all, September turned out to be more than I was able to deal with. I think all the stress over the last few months just piled up & I kind of fell apart a bit.

  
BUT, as usual, to escape I played a little Second Life, went for a lot of walks, (when I wasn't laid up on the couch with the "sickness," that is,) played with my kitten Nico, & of course watched a lot of GREAT movies & TV to relax & recover.  I will be updating on those movies & TV shows as well as showing pics of some really cute Second Life items I picked up AND other amazing & useful tidbits I have discovered in life & around the internet as soon as I am feeling a bit better.

Once again, Thanks so much for dropping by my page!

STAY HEALTHY

 

Five Thousand Hits - Thank You!

SHINee does an imitation of how happy I felt after hitting 5000 views

 I wanted to take a moment to say Thank You to everyone who has stopped by my blog over the last year & a half - I have now reached over five thousand hits! I started this blog in January of 2011 to force myself to start writing again, (even just a little bit,) by sharing personal anecdotes, writing movie & music reviews, sharing some of my own original artwork, & to teach myself some Photoshop using the pictures I took in Second Life, etc. I have already posted more in the five months of this year than I had in all of 2011, so that's one major feat. It has been a strange journey, though. Things have not always gone so great - I have removed posts for various reasons I won't get into right now, (I'll save that for some more "philosophical" posts at a later date.) I have learned some hard lessons, even gained & lost friends. Even though my progress may seem small to some, & I know I am still very amateurish compared to what is possible,  my overall progress means a lot to me & I do feel feel proud to have at least been trying. I have learned a lot & look forward to learning more. I recently updated the entire look & feel of the blog - from the colors to the fonts - even honing the logo, (which is my original drawing,) & I am very pleased. I am still working on finding my writing "voice," constantly reading, exploring new tutorials, other great blogs & finding new inspirations every day. Frankly, there's so much to be inspired by & learn from it's sometimes hard to keep up.

I will do my best to keep improving. Thank You.
