what a difference a year makes!

A year ago today, everything came crashing down around me. It was probably the lowest I've ever, ever been. Ever been released (unfairly, but that's another story) from a job two days before your birthday? And right before Thanksgiving (by a deeply unhappy, vindictive bitch set out to sabotage you? Sorry, sorry, another time.) It sucks. It makes the holidays really suck.

But I'm thankful, this year, for my family, my friends, my new beautiful boss and delightful family of colleagues who have helped me rediscover my confidence. It's probably not healthy for me to carry around this resentment and anger for what happened last year, so I'm going to attempt to stop griping about it. Forget, possibly, but forgive, I don't think so. I know there's a distinction between things that are personal and things that are business, but this was personal. But what do you know? Good triumphs over evil, every time.

"so I said satan farewell - and now I'm all ready to fly!" Patti, who I am sure would agree with me about the benefits of holding a grudge (we're both Italian, after all) will say it better, so take it away, lady!
