Riddle Of Steel: The Awakening

This past February 25th I was awakened from...not really a slumber...more like a trance. I had been lulled into a state of not caring...not really hopelessness, just a feeling of 'is this all there is? Will it always be like this?' Like King Theoden...there was a Grima whispering in my ear. Over a period of 2 years I had let my joy get stolen from me.

Once I realized what I had let happen I promised to do something about it. That was the slow beginning of a lifelong marathon...there is no rest, no finish line except the end of days. Today was a 6 month pit stop to measure progress and I got really good news. To celebrate I am going to do something special tomorrow (tomorrow is one of those special personal days). This one is a particular milestone day. I'll let you know later how it goes.
