Happiness can be found anywhere as long as you never stop seeking it out.
The last two months, actually five months, have been quite a series of unfortunate events. However there have been some wonderful happenings, too.
First off, I’d like to thank
nishi for having thought of me to make this little picture for ‘Hearts & Hooves day’. It is keeping our friendship in focus that has kept me from steering too far off course during quite a few tough times. I appreciate him very much for knowing that all these lousy times are not matters I run away from. I do ‘retreat’ as I collect myself. However, Oxnard has always found a way to throw a little boost of happiness my way during the darkest of hours.
Another super awesome thing he kindly did was make a book out of the Series 5 MLP Cards that Enterplay was not able to release. Enterplay released a file containing all the finished artwork, design, and notations for the fronts and backs of each card. Sadly things occurred that prevented them from taking the finalized work to market. Well, Oxnard took the time to make a book out of this publicly-released file. My son has started to help me go through it and being able to have this set ‘complete’ means a lot.
I’ve also had a lot of fun with
leonXIII,
tacki, and
sweetielover reading and developing stories.
lucca has also provided some YCH art to help me flesh out more of Yosh’s appearance while
landonbay has given tons of new concepts for me to explore for Yosh and ‘The Lannyverse’.
There is also
starponys who has kindly taken on the task of helping me finish a very polished collection of Haposaur stories. He has been able to bring more ‘life’ to the Haposaur world while doing a fine job of taking my 20+ years of work, structuring it, and giving it more of a ‘cartoon’ / ‘TV series’ feel that I had always wanted in the first place.
All the above is not to leave other individuals unrecognized for their time, comments, role plays, etc. However I only have so many ‘labels’ to use and naming everyone would be impossible as there are just too many great people around this community.
All your hugs, shows of support, and sharing of your talents with me have kept me happy during all the trials and tribulations I’ve gone through. Never forget that, as you have given strength to me, you are just as able to give yourself that same ability to cope and overcome your own life struggles. More importantly is, no matter what, you can always count on quacky lil’ diapered up, me if you need that extra ‘lift’ to know just how wonderful, worthwhile, and capable you are.

Aw I'm glad that there are a good amount of other positives happening out there! It's healthy to vent and get out the bad stuff going on so you don't keep it to yourself, but it's also healthy to make sure ya keep the positives in mind and enjoy those, sometimes they blow right by us! So I hope more nice things keep goin' your way buddy~!
*Snugs* Thanks, Oxnard. I never want to come off as a wet diaper to everyone. Especially since I know that is not the real me. So I am thankful for your kind gift that I could use to better illustrate that tough times still have good ones within them. :)
<LoL!> You probably won't be surprised, but I was thinking about your 'Paint The Night Sky' when I named this particular entry. The very piece of your art that started the Creative Campaign. :)

(Really late) Happy San Valentine's Day Yosh. I really loved the cover art of this submission. So amazing. Congratulate the artist in my name, please.
I'm so happy that you took this opportunity to thank the nice people who have helped you someway in FurAffinity. I hope I've also done that enough for you. Sadly I haven't been able to read all your journals but it seems that life isn't being so nice and kind with you. Something which makes me feel a bit sad and worried. I hope you can feel better and have better luck in the near future. I'm sure that in one way or another, your friends will be here for you.

Thanks, Sweetie. Meeting you was the FA highlight of 2019 for me. I really enjoyed discovering you before having found that I had found you years ago on FiM Fiction.
What you have done for me is create work that, even without seeing it, I can feel it. The emotion I get from how you take pride in your work helps me feel extremely expired and creative.
You are also the first new artist I have followed without ever having physically seen your work. Though, as I mentioned earlier, I more 'feel' the work and it takes shape in my imagination. You are also very kind to let me interpret the work from what my mind translates from your words.

As for my journals, I do not write them more as a release of stress to myself. If people comment, I appreciate any insight they help provide. However, put simply, my journals are telling a tale of how those of us with limitations / special needs / disabilities / etc. still have a long way to go in order to remove negative beliefs of what we can and cannot do. More noteworthy is how there is no way those of us who are not 'normal' are held back by society, as a whole, being too misinformed on how easy it is to make someone who comes off as being unable to do anything be able to thrive through adaptions.
I share my journals as a way to, hopefully, help others see that they are not alone in having tough times. Sometimes knowing you are not alone in a struggle can provide hope of things getting better.
