Well, it's the new year and I've gotten some new hope. However it is difficult for me to feel completely happy due to still being unemployed. The 12Th of this month was the anniversary of my grandfather's passing. I think some of that sorrow came out in my cemetery photos rather unintentionally.I've still to burn my braid as a symbol of the end of my mourning. Its difficult. I'm not quite sure I'm ready for it, but Theriom will be there which will make it seem like an easier task for me. I'll have someone I trust to lean on. I think that's really all I've needed.
I'm just simply feeling a bit overwhelmed.
To keep my mind on other things I've started re-arranging my apartment and reading a lot more than I used to. I've also tried sketching again to my miserable failure. However I do have watercolors now and I might just give that I good try. =] I can't wait until I have the space and the alone time to do it.
Some books that I thought would be good to recommend reading are the Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs. The characters are so realistic and give you a sense that they are real people and face real problems but at the same time has this wonderful mix of Werewolf, vampire, and Fae fantasy to it. Its set in a real location, No made up lands with names you can't pronounce. The main character Mercy is witty, sarcastic, loyal, and young. Which is just the spunk anyone would love to read about.
