p.s. 2 weeks ago

Even though I won’t be posting anymore, I do reserve the right to use this account for cheering! I do care about you all and want to see what you’re up to periodically. So if you see a cheer from me, just know that I was thinking of you. :)

This is goodbye 2 weeks ago

I have to put Cynonymous to rest. But first:

To the person who said I did not and would not accomplish anything here:

I am learning to play my ukulele.

I lost over 60 pounds and improved my health and self-image.

I wrote a short story and put it online.

I kicked a 20-year-old caffeine addiction and in the process cured my insomnia.

I got back into reading.

I took a painting class and learned how to paint.

I took a drawing class and learned how to draw.

I became vegetarian for a year.

I asked for a raise and got it.

I sold some things I made.

I co-wrote songs and got more comfortable with singing.

I funded renewable energy.

I funded a micro-loan.

I learned new ways of dancing.

I opened an Etsy shop.

I found friends here when I was feeling lonely and bored and uninspired.

To those friends: I’m not going to delete my account, but I won’t be using it anymore. I’ve been thinking it over a long time – you’ve probably noticed I’ve not been around much – and I have to do this. You’ll still be able to message me. I love you all but life is very unsettled right now and I haven’t been able to give much time to 43 Things. And honestly, I haven’t been able to be myself here. It’s not your fault, but I can no longer be myself here. Take care, everybody. :) I’ll still be reading about you. :)


Update my daughter's memory book, or write in the journal I keep for her, at least once a month (read all 12 entries…)
Reflecting on death and the afterlife while on a Sunday drive 3 weeks ago

Did Nanny go to heaven?

Yes, honey.

Who drove her there?

Um . . . God? (No, angels dummy, next time say angels!)

But isn’t God invisible?

Um. Apparently.

Well how does he drive if he’s invisible?

(stumped Mommy)

(Invisibility does not affect one’s ability to operate heavy machinery, does it?)
