At It Again

 I haven't been posting much since a tragic and unexpected death happened in my immediate family last year. It never ceases to amaze me that it is possible to begin to live again after such an overwhelming event. In many ways, I will never be the same. We are never the same after traumatic events, of course: to a greater or lesser extent, the old self dies and a new self is reborn. But I felt a bit more "in the world" today.
