Ok now that we've got that out of the way

Here's some happy and positive reinforcement to start:-
I remember listening to Wilson Phillips while studying for 3rd year advanced accounting exams. The guys in our study group, despite themselves it seemed, asked me "who is this? it's not bad"...and then "do you really listen to this type of music?" :-)

Fuck yeah, I take my positive reinforcement where I can get it and this song speaks to me and my entire life. It's true. So suck it up and deal and get happy.

Any of you who knew me before, you'll be glad/relieved to know that grief crap is in the past AND for Christmas 2011, I finally got a tree and decorated again. My cats died in 2009. I had to skip decorating since losing them. But it's ok. I'm good. I'm sick but i'm good and I am determined that 2012 is the start of a sea change of sorts for my life. Good things are in store and no b.s. anymore or pain or sorrow. I've had enough for a lifetime.

So just think of all the things I can write about which have nothing to do with illness, suffering, sorrow, pain....holy crap enough of that!

I'm telling you, Wilson Phillips....they can cure anything if you give it enough time. Ok this is a good reboot for the Echomouse blog. As one of my new fav bloggers often notes, TFC!!!! (which means "Thanks for Commenting!!!!") Clearly the value is in the exclamation points there, am I right? :-)
