UPDATE (March 1, 2007): This entry has been significantly edited (content deleted) per this blog entry.
[snip] Today, I want to just let everyone know that I am - all things considered - getting by. I have returned to work, even if just for three or four half days a week. And, as my stamina and energy return, I will continue to increase my hours. My firm has been absolutely perfect, in letting me be a professional and deciding for myself what I can or cannot take on at this point. Literally, I cannot thank my employers enough for the depth of kindness they have demonstrated to me. I am not yet traveling, but hope to be up for that in the next couple of weeks. And my first major public work-related outing will be honoring my commitment to speak at SXSW on Monday. Perhaps I will see many of my Austin-based readers there ...
People have told me that they are astonished at my strength and grace during this most challenging of times. While I appreciate the support, everyone should know that I still have my moments. However, I have most of them in private, which is exactly how I want to have them. [snip]
I will be forever changed, but life will go on for me just as it has for nearly everyone else. And this is how it should be ... life is difficult, yet life is - and I believe this completely - inherently good. This is what has made it so interesting to get out of bed every morning for the last 34 years, and I imagine that will continue to be the case. [snip]

The path ahead is long and winding filled with stones and caves. I hope you can find your "new normal".
