This needs some updating

So I never did NaNoWriMo... big surprise, but my schedule just never had time for serious writing. I kept busy with friends and family. Since Andrew and Philip moved down in September and Graham and Karen moved to town last summer, family has been a big thing. My friends play a big part in my life, keeping me sane from all the stress of school.

The biggest (and best) news however is that I have met a wonderful woman named Jessica that I'd like to spend every waking (and not waking) moment with.

I feel I've been neglecting my friends some what over the last month or so, as various things came up and then I met Jessica. However I feel it's very important to invest my time and energy in building a strong relationship with Jessica right now, and my friends will have to understand that. I have spent some time with them in the last few days, so thats good I guess.

I've been feeling like a new person lately, feeling more positive about myself and my life. I'm smiling a lot more, and feeling happy and relaxed. I've even lost weight since Christmas, which is a big thing for me.

I'm finally thinking my life is on track, and things will be all right.

It's Valentines Day tomorrow, and for the first time in about 10 years I'm excited about it. All the hearts and flowers and chocolates that would've brought me down a year ago are making me more happy.

I read a great book yesterday "tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. It has a simple premise, "an old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson". It's the story of the author reconnecting with his favourite professor from college, after discovering the professor is dying of ALS. They share 14 Tuesdays as he flys from Detroit to Boston just to spend time with him, working on their final thesis which is this book.

If you read just one more book ever, this one should be it. Very touching, and many great lessons about everything to learn in those pages.

Thats a pretty big update on my life right there, so if anyone is reading I would love to hear from you. Whether you tell me I'm too sappy, or you tell me you're happy for me, or if you just tell me I spelled something wrong... Just tell me.
