it's about to get cheesy up in here

[lunabee34]

So. I know that many of you are going through some really tough times. Me, too.

Just on my small friends' list, the number of issues that people are facing is staggering: mental health crises, physical health crises, the emotional and psychological toll of the pandemic and the attendant isolation and separation from loved ones, grief and mourning, financial insecurity, and others. 2020 was a shit show for everyone, and for many of us, 2021 isn't necessarily shaping up to be any better.

I want you to know that y'all are my light in the darkness. This fall was the lowest point for me in many years, and you lifted me up out of it. You listened to me vent. You gave me advice. You sent out hopes, prayers, and well wishes to the universe for me. You made me laugh. You wrote stories that entertained me. You took my silly polls. You let me be a friend to you in return when you were hurting, too.

Thanks for that. I am grateful on a daily basis for all of you.

Things will NEVER go back to what they were, but some of the changes will be good ones. I can't help thinking about the non-ironic title of the movie "The Best Years of Our Lives"....when the leads were fighting WWII.

[lunabee34]

*nods*

I hope that we can make long lasting good changes. I agree that we don't want things to go back to the way they were; we want them to be better.

*hugs*

Every time I pick up a book you've sent me, I get the warm fuzzies.

[kass]

Right back at you. <3

Oh, my gods, you've made me cry. Just a little. Thank you for being a wonderful friend and cheerleader. There are times when I find it difficult to post but I remember you and my other online friends and don't want to go in hiding again. You're very special to me and if I've helped you along the way that makes me very glad. <3 <3 <3

[lunabee34]

I am so glad to hear that. *hugs*

You have been so encouraging and sweet to me; you're definitely keeping me going, friend.

*hugs* You are such a wonderful person to know! *more hugs*

(You should know that 'the thing' (mentioned in my e-mail) has nothing to do with this post as I'm just now seeing it. I've been thinking about the other for a couple of weeks now. The mystery deepens, lol!)

[lunabee34]

*hugs*

You, too. I'm so glad we met all those years ago!

I will go see now if The Thing works. LOL

[lyr]

*hugs* In this shitshow of a week, when I am seizing this moment of electricity, you are a light in my figurative and literal darkness, too. I am always grateful to know you.

[lunabee34]

*hugs*

Your friendship is dear to me.

How are y'all holding up? I am sure you are desperately cold. :(
