Changing Of The Seasons

I am finally, finally, FINALLY back to being a civilian.
I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get my life into order,  but I feel as though I am finally learning to enjoy it.
I continue to attend meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous, and they continue to help. Please excuse me if I don't dwell on this topic much, as I would hate for anyone to misconstrue my intentions as to why I post about my alcoholism- I want to share my experiences, and I want to help people who may be dealing with it, though I am not terribly sure how much help I might be to those struggling to achieve their own sobriety at this point in my life. So, I will keep my recovery ramblings to a minimum.
I am still very much searching for an outlet for my creative cravings, though I seem to be coming up a bit short on that on my own. I have recently begun to learn about metal art work and the process that goes into it from a wonderful friend over at US Of A Projects (new window). I am absolutely fascinated by his creative process and the practical application of it, and am DYING to be given free reign of the paint!!!
I have recently met a very nice gentleman, after a whole month of being single (don't judge me!) and am beginning to learn what a healthy relationship might be. It is early, yet, and my whole life is in an oddly consistent state of flux.
Mr. Wonderful Mexico has been relegated to the role of business associate. Our expectations of friendships are clearly quite different, and I am happy to send business his way if folks are in his market, but in a personal light, it's better to keep it simple, stupid.
Time to get back to the irons in the fire--- literally! Well, almost....
