WHEW!! I had a lot of journals to copy and paste. I can't leave here without my words...they are mine afterall. Without them I might lose a feeling or an experience. Sure, they weren't all great and some downright sucked, but they belong to me and I've learned and grown from each and every one.

I don't want to get all sappy, but I do feel the need to say something in parting.

It's been really weird not being around the last couple months. But it has helped me heal to be away. And it has helped me to move forward.

The past doesn't scare me

Neither does the future.

My friends here have been an invaluable source of support and love...even if those friendships don't remain, I am grateful for them all.

I really want it to snow tonight, but somehow I think I will be disappointed.

My Christmas tree is gorgeous. My house is warm and inviting...finally a home.

I still feel pain. The kids ask questions. I still have no answers.

Life continues on.

I finally have a job, starting in January, I'm reconnecting with past contacts and regaining confidence.

It's going to be a great Christmas and I'm looking forward to the New Year.

I wish you all much love and happiness. Thank you all for touching my life. I take a piece of each one of you with me.

Sleep well and dream sweetly
XOXO
