SCRIBBLINGS
I realize it has been a long time since I have journaled. Much has happened since early February when I wrote this last journal. I have hardly been on, and I feel like I owe those of you who have been faithful friends an explanation.
Life has dealt me some knocks in the last few months. As most of you know, I lost my beloved horse
at the end of January. In March, I had to say goodbye to my dear old dog, Reese
He was a sweet boy, and it was hard to say goodbye, even though it was time. He had several strokes over the last year, and I finally had to face the fact that it was his time to move on. RIP my dear friend.
I have been finishing up the last semester of my Master's study program and finally, I graduated!
It was a really difficult semester, one of the hardest so far, but it paid off because I am to have a job!! Teaching Visual Communications, and Beginning Web Design at an ITT Technical School Campus starting in June! I have been through the interviews and am waiting to sign the final paperwork. I am very happy about that, my family has been struggling financially, and times have been very tough. If it weren't for scholarships and my Mom's help I wouldn't have been able to finish school.
A dear friend helped me to purchase an Aussie puppy. His name is Jax and he is a real clown and has given us a lot of reasons to laugh (and a lot to clean up as well!).
Things were looking up, and I was feeling really positive. I was feeling like being creative and wanting to move forward, and then, just two days ago tragedy struck again.
My favorite kitty, Simon, somehow got out of the house at night and got run over in the street. I have been heartbroken over it, and just haven't been able to concentrate or feel creatively motivated. I know I'm behind with keeping up with your work. I'll try to get back in the swing of things soon.
I have a commission or two I need to finish but with this happening it's kind of hit me in the gut and I haven't been up to it.
I appreciate your patience, I know I'm not the only one who has lost a dear four footed friend,
lost her precious bunny Pullo just a little bit ago...he was a wonderful bunny and I know her pain and share her feeling of loss. I sometimes feel like there's a big hole in my heart lately.
I have a wonderful family and they have been very supportive and caring. I'm trying to be strong and get better. It's just difficult. I appreciate those of you who still watch me and who have been there for me over the last couple of months, some of you have been with me for all the years I've been on dA.
It means a lot to me!

I appreciate them all! What I'm trying to do is spend more time visiting your pages and commenting and faving your work than saying 'Thank You'. It also gives me more time to work on my own stuff.
