God's Country Gave me Something Good

So it wasn't easy (hardest thing I've done in my life).

And it wasn't quick (took about two years, with two 6-month breaks in between).

And it wasn't an emotional breeze (more than a few shed tears of my own frustration, and quite a few from others as well).

But it wasn't all for nothing, either.

THANK GOD. I finally got the damn article published!

I will have a life again now. I'll have time for friends. I'll have free weekends. I'll have time for...my blog?

Thanks to all who put up with my low moments. Couldn't have done it without you!
