On May 16, 2013, I not only wrote about my epic sadness, I posted those snotty-nosed feelings on this blog<\/span><\/a>.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
Well, Journeyer, let me just tell you what happened.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to say that thousands of people reached out to comfort me, that Oprah called to ask me on the show, or Ellen e-mailed to invite me to dance with her or just told me some silly joke that made me smile and ended those blues.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

But nooooooo,<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not how it went down. At all.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

That sad shit has been reaching out and touching me in all kinds of haunting ways since.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

First, don\u2019t ask me what happened, but my computer had one of those Word seizures, shutting down and rebooting and putting I\u2019m Sad in one of those little side boxes that says, Hey, I saved your ass. Here\u2019s your file.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A few days later I did a quick search for the file because clicking that little blue ball is so much easier than scrolling through all those file names. Guess what? That file wasn\u2019t there. Search said it didn\u2019t exist.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So I went in and scanned the titles until I found it and pulled it up that way, but for God only knows how long, that\u2019s how I had to access that post.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And then, if that weren\u2019t nuisance enough, I started noticing that when I commented on other sites, that little bubble came up with \u201cAnnah Elizabeth recently posted I\u2019m Sad.\u201d<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And then I noticed the posts weren\u2019t updating to my Facebook and Twitter feeds.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

At first I thought there was just a delay in the syndication, but by June I knew there was a problem.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I troubleshooted Networked blogs. All fine. But still SAD.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I spent days searching forums, deleting and recreating my networkedblogs account, and stumbling along to no avail.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I asked for help in tweets and on Facebook and on help forums.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Notta.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Honestly, I started commenting that \u201cI\u2019m not SAD anymore\u201d and then sometime in July or August I just started un-checking those buttons that ask if I want to include my recent posts, and if I\u2019ve encountered a site that didn\u2019t let me undo that SADNESS, then I abandoned my comment.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Who wants to be epically SAD for three or six or nine months?<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So, finally today, while working on my next bit of really exciting news, I had to address it. Again!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The last thing I wanted to think about on top of all this sinus pressure that\u2019s been pressing against the entire top of my head for three days was that SAD stuff.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Thank you Google\u2026after several searches that led me to RSS feed stuff and creating an unnecessary account with some rss feed site, I found something that sent me to the site to test my feedburner feed, which led me to this help page<\/span><\/a>, which led me to <\/span>this site<\/span><\/a> which helped me get over being SAD like no one has ever helped me before.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Okay, almost that profound\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 4, Journeyer. STEP 4<\/b> (remember that if you\u2019re having feedburner problems) gave me the most user-friendly instructions, which include the simplest fix.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

All I had to do was copy and paste fourteen itty-bitty letters to the end of my feedburner code.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Something so simple was equally that profound.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Voila!<\/span><\/i> SADNESS gone.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I have to tell you that the Happy I was going to share just seems to pale in contrast to this exciting event!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I am downright euphoric!!!!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

EUPHORIC!!!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The cyberworld has been trying to tell me I\u2019M SAD for nine months, but after hour a few short hours this morning, I solved that dilemma.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So, there\u2019s a lesson or two here: 1. Don\u2019t ever let anything or anyone lead you to believe that you have to be eternally sad, and 2. If something doesn\u2019t work, just keep trying something different. Eventually you\u2019ll stumble upon just the right combination that you need.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

That sort of segues me into what I was going to write about.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve some exciting news, Journeyer.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The Five Facets<\/span><\/i> is finally official! After kicking around in my brain for more than a decade, after four years of blogging and writing about it, after the past twelve months of really honing in on what this philosophy is, after defining it and its audience and then redefining it some more, I finally took the plunge.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

We are now not only an official business with official business checks (thanks to modern technology, they\u2019re even sporting our logo!), we are now an official and officially copyrighted WEBSITE!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, everything The Five Facets<\/i> is now at www.thefivefacets.com<\/span><\/a>.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Now, I\u2019ve only had about twelve hours of sleep this weekend because I just couldn\u2019t contain my excitement and enthusiasm and the awe of watching this site come together one box at a time.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The site is pretty well done but I haven\u2019t completed all of The Five Facets Philosophy<\/i> elements.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s what I\u2019ve decided to do, since I can\u2019t keep it in anymore!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to go ahead and publish the site.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span>The first of those five elements, The 5 D\u2019s is done!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

My next posts will be the release of each new step in The Five Facets of Healing<\/i> process.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait for all of The Five Facets components<\/i> to finally make their debut!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

My greatest wish is that they will bring you some measure of the inspiration they\u2019ve brought me throughout all these years.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

So, now I need to get back to the last few tasks on that development project!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And now, for the simpler moments that brought me an equal measure of joy this past week\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Warren found a really good Ebay deal on a used pool table; I actually wrote last week\u2019s post<\/span><\/a> on the drive to NJ to pick it up.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

A few of Big Guy\u2019s friends met us back at the house to help get it upstairs and all set up, and then they all hung out.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Nothing warms this mama\u2019s heart more than hearing the laughter and joy of my children and their friends.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

These young men are just an exceptional group, polite and friendly and kind and conscientious students and so full of fun and life\u2019s vigor.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Not only did I enjoy last week\u2019s winter break from work, I thoroughly found pleasure in the comings and goings of my son\u2019s friends.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And with that time off, I managed to take care of many little tasks that I\u2019d been putting off, as well as some of the bigger ones, like wading through the copyright stuff for Digging for the Light.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s done, Journeyer, and the print copy is ready to be mailed to the Library of Congress!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Last night Warren and I attended a fiftieth birthday party for one of our friends that helped me ring in my next decade!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And today, well, I\u2019m plugging away on that website development and am also all ready to entertain Warren\u2019s family and friends as we help her celebrate her birthday!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The lasagna\u2019s ready to bake, and thanks to Marie Callender we have one of Mom\u2019s favorite desserts, a freshly baked berry pie.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, Friends, it\u2019s 9:59 PM; dinner and dishes and the last website touches (for tonight) are done!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Seeing as the alarm will go off at 5:30 in the morning, I must retire, but I promise to come back this week to add the images to this post.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Until then, I wish you wellness and warmth in the coming days, and encourage you to capture at least one of those Moments that make you smile for feel even the slightest bit of respite or joy.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

And lastly, I challenge you to come back here next week and share that event(s) with us!<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Night, Journeyer\u2026sweet dreams\u2026<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n
