A New Year, A Clean Slate

[raven]

Hiya kids...Trish here. Yeah, *THAT* Trish.

Some of you know me and have not~so~fond memories from last year. 2006 was not a good year for me in a lot of ways, but it *was* a great year for learning and growing and lots of reflection towards the end. Hence, I'm not the same person I was even just a month ago, let alone a year ago. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I hope you all can accept my apologies for the past and allow me to move ahead here with my new outlook on life.


(I know there's no reason for me to hide behind a new name, but I just figured I'd do something different so I'm using my cat's name. )

And for those of you who don't know me, well, I'd like to leave the past exactly there: in the past.

Hey Trish...I for one am up for a fresh start!...Everyone deserves a second chance. Welcome to the new boards.

One thing though...can you post the whole pic of the one in your avatar?...I'm guessing its from Tony's new site...Which for some horrible, horrible reason, I still can't access!...In fact...can someone post them all...I REALLY want to get a look!

Welcome

Laura

Somebody I hadn't spoken to in over a year sent me the loveliest text on New Year's Eve..."The new year is a time for new beginnings. May 2007 be your year and bring you much happiness"...I think it's a lovely sentiment and one that I'm sure we would all like to extend to you Trish. The past is the past, it's what happens next that matters

Welcome aboard!

Hey Trish, it took a lot of guts but also personality to post what you've posted. As far as I can tell life has been hard on you but it has also pushed you into the right direction. I hope things will only get better and that 2007 will be YOUR year!

So here's a warm welcome for you!

thats cool, put the past in a box and leave it their, you do grow through every experience you have had, and if you can come out the other end of it thats all the more better, glad your on here.

OMGosh, you guys! Thank you *EVERYONE* so very, very much for all of your heartwarming welcomes! I'm all misty...really! Ing, thank you for the Karma! And Ellen, thank you for always being an encouragement to me over on myspace. I must say that I'm beyond thrilled to be back here with the splendiferous people I met over a year ago, as well as in hopes of adding some new friends to my world. In fact, I'd like to share my myspace, and if you think you might like to add me, message me there and I'll give you my last name (Sammie, you already know it! ): www.myspace.com/1_cor_13_far_cry

(Laura, did Ingy's link to the pic work for you? I'm kinda clueless when it comes to resizing, so I'm not sure if I could get the whole pic in under 100x100 pixels! lol! That IS horrible that you can't access the site, but your av is beautiful!)
This is for all of you...

And this is for Debbie... ;D

Awww! Thanks Trish for my 'cat fix' for the day. Eventhough I can't have cats anymore due to people with various allergies in this house - I love them! Raven looks lovely, is he/she all black? I used to have a black cat called George - he was mad though! We should have a pet's gallery methinks!

[raven]

Aw, thanks Debbie! Yup, my girl is all black with beautiful green eyes. She'll be 9 on Valentine's Day. I like to call her my Psycho~Kitty...I bet she and George would've gotten along just fine! That's frustrating being a "cat person", but living with people who've got allergies. I'm in the same boat, so Raven lives with my parents. They're only about 15 minutes away from me, so I get visitation rights!
And I'm liking the idea of a pet gallery!!
