quagmire no more

so where have i been these last two months?

occupied with jungle jewels on facebook? yes...
busy with school and finals? yeah...
tied up with the holidays? yep...
sinking into a quagmire of despair? um, mayhaps...
despondent over the things i want and do not have? well, not "things" but people...

lately i've been thinking about the people i miss, the people i trust and those i don't and wondering where my faith and trust in people went...

and all the while falling into a serious funk, fretting over the relationships i will never have with people who could care less about me, and fretting over relationships that weren't what they appeared to be...

and it appears that i've then been missing out on what's been going on here... and obviously forgetting why i started blogging here in the first place--it IS good to be hentzen!
there is so much to be thankful and happy about in my little family here!!

and yet it's so incredibly easy to get lost and blinded by the bad stuff, that you start to lose joy in all of the good stuff that abounds in life... and really it seems that the goods definitely outweigh the bad, but we tend to focus on the nasties!

so here's to a new year of finding the good stuff and i wish the same for you!

happy new year!
