2011: The Odyssey Begins

My year has started out on a roller coaster. The good part: I was told today that someone misses seeing my articles in the paper, that he enjoys my writing style. I cannot begin to express how much that meant to me...

The bad part: still waiting on the okay for my financial aid to go back to college. And today found out that my state aid income will be non-existent for three months... so my only income will be from the writing (which there isn't much being done, unfortunately) and the occasional sale of the odd knit or crochet item...

Concentrating on the good part.
