August 2012 Anniversaries
« on: August 01, 2012, 03:06:20 PM »
Ah, August.  In the Northern Hemisphere, this is the hottest month, the vacation month, the silly season for the news.  Despite this, many of us have spent this time out of sync with those around us, contemplating a loved one's struggle, struggling on our own with a difficult, scary, intensely personal decision.  Grieving a loss.  Celebrating the full measure of life, love, and hope.  Do take care, all, and let's all remember, we aren't alone.
