Things Are Looking Up
Things are looking a little brighter, probably because I haven't talked to my sister in a few days. The only real stress I have in my life is over the events going on back at home. I shouldn't call it "home", because this is home. Home is where my husband is, and we are having a great time. We were busy raising children and being broke all through our twenties and thirties. Now in our forties we have a chance to play and playing all weekend with my husband is a dream come true for me. We have bought a house here in Florida, with a pool and a fabulous backyard for my baby Bailey. On the twentieth of May we get to move in, and I'm looking forward to even more play time with my husband.
This is such a gift, and I am truly sorry for the troubles that are going on back where we're from....caught it this time. I'm just so grateful for this, I can't even express it in words. Which is a new one for me, but all I can say is that I'm in total bliss. This must be what Heaven is like, all bliss all the time, with concern for others that you leave behind. Florida, especially South Florida, is often called God's waiting room :) I just don't know if there is a better there than here.
So, call me sappy, I don't care. It's the first time in my life where I have absolute freedom and glorious happiness. My life as a child was completely stressful and I lived in humiliation and fear. I've done a lot , and I mean a ton of work to let it go, to rid myself of the anger and rage. I spent a lot of money and a lot of time to feel like I am a half way decent person.  My husband had many things from his past to heal from, the only difference with him is that I would come home from whatever therapy I had just finished and taught him what I had just learned. He's done a lot of work himself. Is this our reward? My sister thinks so. Maybe I do, too.

You know the best therapist I ever had would tell me, that life is a wonderful experience. There are bad days, and bad things happen, but all in all most of it is good. We just have to stop and find the good. I am so glad to see that you have found that. Glad to see that you are feeling happy. More people should let go of the past long enough to enjoy the amaizment and beauty of the world we live in. Smooches
