short reflections... and... thank you.

I'm eking through the days.

I found a place to live and am now working out details on a moving date (July), getting rid of books and clothes and mapping out the next steps.

It's a lot. I am overwhelmed.

But despite the darkness, I am constantly humbled by kindness. Friends, coworkers, blog buddies, family, neighbors... sweetly offering support, understanding, empathy, an ear, a shoulder, friendship, camraderie, silence... whatever.

No one has judged.

I feel utterly floored. I don't know how to thank you all. Your stories and comments and emails and thoughts and even the kind looks in your eyes, I am tearing up just thinking of it. You don't even know it but you are saving me now, lifting me from fires and darkness and self-criticism and shame. How do I possibly express how much it means? I just don't have the words.

Thank you.

PS. You don't have to comment again (doing so in Google Reader is a pain anyway). I can tell that you're stopping by and I just wanted to tell you how much your thoughtful gestures have meant since I didn't get a chance to respond individually.
