Yay you’re back.
I must agree New Year’s Eve can be a bit of a bore. I’ve had some good ones recently – had a meal with friends and then up to the market sqaure with a bottle of bubbly to celebrate with lots of people from the village. Some have been awful – but I’ve chosen to erase them from my mind.

I think I’m your Southern hemisphere counterpart or something!
Beautifully put – thank you.
Happy 2010.
PS It’s very hot and humid here today and there has been a commercial water blaster going all day, which I wish would go to the other side of the world!!!

Darnit, I have the comment fear too, so I’m going to throw this out there.
Fi, you are amazing. Your work is amazing. I can’t wait to hear more!

Fi, I love your description of depression. (Have you read any of John McManamy’s articles? I read this one before I was diagnosed with dysthymia – and I’m glad I did! http://www.mcmanweb.com/dysthymia.html)

I like the animal metaphor. I’m not sure mine could be a cat. I often think it’s more like a lion eyeing me from an uncomfortable distance, calculating the exact moment it can pounce on me and devour me for lunch. But, perhaps with an animal metaphor, I can talk to it…perhaps tame it. I’ll give it a try. Thanks so much for this idea!

Riin, I dunno. Are you sitting with a computer in front of you? Yes?

OMIGOD, we’re a split personality!

Willie, I can’t tell you how cool it is to see someone I’ve actually met in real life commenting! Let’s FREALISTIC in 2010 together!

Tracy, I have that commenting fear thing too. Wait. Do you have a computer in front of you? ARGH! There’s three of us!

Lean, I will if you will. (On the blog plans, of course.)

Jess, thank you for the warm wishes – it’s freezing here and a snow day as all of England is shut down with the white stuff (forgive us, we’re just not use to it) so warm wishes particularly welcomed!
