post holiday lonliness

I had a great time over Christmas and New Years catching up with friends near and far, but this past week I have been coming down from that high and feeling pretty lonely.  I realized how much I miss being around my friends and am so thankful that I got to see so many of them the past couple weeks.  I just wish we all lived closer to each other and  could hang out more than once or twice a year. 

That combined with some work stress has made a pretty hard few days- I start school again on Monday and am hoping that settling back into a routine will make me miss my  friends less and make it easier for me to spend time with the friends who do live close to me!
