You know, I have a long-ass entry that I've been planning on posting in here for the longest time, but I have to actually, ya know, finish it.

I also have a long-ass letter to send out to Phil once I finally finish writing it. I've been working on it for about three and a half weeks now. On and off, ya know. So, it'll be a while before it's done. *chuckles*

I was talking with a friend this afternoon who paid me the greatest compliment. I'm not going to tell you who it was, nor am I going to link to her. She knows who she is.

She said that I was a calming influence.

That might seem like an inconsequential comment to some, but for me? That's wonderful. It's a tremendous ego boost.

I like it when things are calm and peaceful. If I can be even a slightly calming influence... then it's been a good day.

Thank you, dear heart, for telling me that. It brings a smile to my lips.

I was going to type more here, but I just had a brain freeze, so I'm going to close this and talk with Kim for a few minutes and see if my memory doesn't get jogged.

Peace unto thy hearts.
