August

The beginning of a new month sometimes strikes me as a perfect time to take stock of things, assume a clean slate and make changes. August is going to be that month for me. I have been stuck for a while now in a sad and dark place and for a long time was worried I would never see past it. But today, August 1, I can.

It hasn't been as easy as a flip of the calendar getting here. I have been struggling and fighting and clawing my way out of the deep hole of depression I've been in but finally, I'm here. There have been some lovely things happening in my life the past couple of weeks, some wonderful people are becoming new friends, some old friends have emerged, and I am beginning to find time for things that bring me joy.

August. The word itself means "inspiring reverence or admiration; of supreme dignity or grandeur; majestic." Seems like a perfect word and month in which to make changes, wouldn't you agree?

Here's to hoping August is majestic. Or at the very least, not craptacular!

SO glad that things are looking up, my sweet friend. It is sometimes hard to see the end when the dark times rear their ugly head. There are so many of us out here, though, that adore you and will shine for you when you can't find your way. Looks like you are kicking ass now, though! :) :D

Any month that a person decides to make changes that will make them happier is a good month, but August is certainly a great choice. ;-)
