It has been quite a year...

        As it draws to a close, I think about all the things that have come to pass in this year. I consider the many changes in my life, views about different things, and ideas. I think about belief sets, and what they mean to some people. And I am not displeased. It has not been an easy year... no, far from it actually. It has had it's share of hardship, trials, scorn, mockery, disappiontment and pain. On the other hand, there have been strong friendships developed with a select few men, rewarding relationships

She spoke of such things as doing the mundane tasks of everyday life
