Hello EAS-

There are so many new names here. I am so sorry I have been absent these past few months. As many of you vets know, I took a new job in April 2010 (in order to get away from xap and also because I was presented an opportunity that I couldn't refuse) and that new job has got me hopping. I have little time to even blog, which many of you know I love to do, let alone post here. And for that I am very sorry. I so wanted to be someone who could hang around and pay it forward to all of the newbies.

I wanted to pop in and say hello because on January 28, I crossed the 1 year threshold. Whoa. Typing that here, in this space that saved my life, makes it feel real. Not many can appreciate what that means unless they've traveled on this journey. It seems like just yesterday I was a newbie here. I wanted to thank those of you who were here when I was a newbie: Iddy, E1, Clarity, Dee, Luvin, New Season, Couldn't Say No, TU, even Bohdi who showed such strength as a newbie herself.... I am sure there are more, and I am so sorry if I have missed you. Without you, I would not be where I am today. Where is that you ask? Alive and kicking and rebuilding.

JANE!!!!

Wow hello old pal- so lovely to see your name here and to see how well you are doing.

I was inspired, moved, and imprved by al of your posts. You have a gift for words and for using those words to make the lives of so many people that little bit better.

I think of you often.

Much love

Dearest Janey,

I almost missed this but kept seeing your name pop up on other posts. What a treat and a delight to have you stop by and see us.

Mostly though, I am honored to give you a little something that was designed by our In-House Graphics Artist, Bodhi. I can't believe a whole year has gone by already since you first signed the EAS register. :smileywink:

Wow! Our Little Janey is all grown up and more beautiful than ever. You have been missed, but those of us who know of your journey completely understand how RL takes the forefront. Isn't this how it's supposed to be? (I'm just a glutton for hugs, and that is why I stay here.) :smileywink:

With that said, Welcome to VetVille and Congratulations!!

Love and hugs!EAS Vet medal.jpg

Your number one fan here - get outta the way DEE & NS (:

I am so happy to see you here posting away. It warms my little heart. YOU were such a source of insight and inspiration early into my ending - from your posts here to your blog. I am so lucky to have gotten close to off the board, and couldn't be happier that you are one year post-A.

Much love,

TU.

And there's my dear TU. There are definitely time this past year that if not for you, I would not have made it. I would have certainly gone crazy and spontaneously combusted. Your support in August/September/October (when it was discovered that my H had been reading my blog for months) can be likened to a very large life preserver in the middle of a typhoon. I clung to you for dear life. Thank you for holding me up while my arms were giving out. Thank you for being there. Thank you for listening. Thank you for dishing out your very gentle tough love. Thank you for knowing when to back off and thank you for knowing when to rush in. I can never repay you for the strength you gave me in some very dark moments. I thank God for you every day TU. Thank you.

Love and hugs.

Jane

Well Jane,
I already got to celebrate with you on Friday as well! And who knew all it would take was some Foggy lovin for both you and New_Season to come running back here. Hell I would have shouted that Love from the roof tops ages ago!!! :)

But seriously...you know that you were a wonderful influence on me from the beginning...and as a reader of your blog I have gained such wonderful strength from it. I also have to say thank you for the legacy you leave with the 48 hour rule...one that will live on long after all of us have moved on from the horribly land of As.

Its good to see you and Congratulations on 1 year A free! One thing is clear, you are a wonderful example of how only through hard work on YOURSELF will you make the changes necessary to insure that behaviors such as those exhibited before will never happen again.

Much love and Big Big (((HUGS)))...happy as always to be one of the gals... :)

peace&light
Foggy
