Tired doesn't even begin the describe how I feel. Mentally and emotionally mostly. Physically my body is feeling the effects of the stress... losing hair wasn't something I saw happening but I'm getting old, so I really shouldn't be surprised. Also, doesn't help when you have a relative lay into you over a "lack of communication" during the holidays while drunk. Someone, who pretty much says how you're feelings do not matter, that you're a shit, and need do more regardless of how things are for you at this moment. Funny thing is, or not so funny, depends... I didn't fight back. I let the words just... shoot through me. Didn't let them have their way at that time, no battle was fought. I did win with patience and kindness. However, the effects of the whole exchange have still, deep down, stung (I mean, it was machine gun level spite). I can only do what I'm able to within my power. I don't expect any more or any less from others. But, in all of this, it's made me resolve to be better regardless. Better in the department of not dealing with crap like that and to just take each day as one step forward. Drawings will happen when they do, responses will come forth when I'm able. I appreciate, as always, all of you who've watched me over the years.. and hopefully for some time to come.

This is a long one but just want to wish you all a Happy New Year. That it may indeed be happy, and continue to be so. May the tough times not be as tough. Wishing good vibes as the youngins of yesteryear used to say.
