Okay, Onwards and Upwards
Thanks to everyone for their words and hugs during my last manic depressive post (and I am allowed to be manic depressive because, well, I am manic depressive, though in polite society today we say bipolar - oy.).
While I'm not quite 100% here, I just got a good swift shot in the ass from a member of my dance troupe. Now we have only known each other a few years, and trust me, this woman has been through a lot of shit in her life but always manages to smile. I won't go into full details but she - without realizing it - reminded me what the purpose of the season is. Not stuff, people.
So while I'm still kinda out of sorts, I think it's time I got my collective shit together, pulled up my boot straps as they say, and tried to get into the holiday season.
The operative word being try here. I mean, I already got my Christmas cards, so may as well send them out, huh?
Slowly but surely the old Sister Stacey will make a return ... stay tuned ...
(oh and to Ms. Bees Knees - thanks for that very generous offer! I will let you know if I intend to take you up on it!)

Way to bounce back, Sister!
I don't quite know how to phrase this, but the fact you were receptive to the message your friend was sending out (consiously or unconsiously) about a better way to be in the world suggests you must be ready to start moving on. (sorry - that's a bit wordy and mixed up!)
Besides, I'm looking forward to getting my Christmas card. You always send the COOLEST christmas cards. ;-)
BTW, my word verification for this post was "cdjam." I wonder if that means anything . . . .

Many people, even ones who aren't bipolar, are up and down during the holiday season. Glad you feel more on track. I had a pre-Christmas tizzy today.
