I realized today (nearly a week after leaving XABF -- no real contact since) that I celebrated a true Independence Day!
I am still settling into my new place.
I am sitting on the brand new furniture I picked out.
I'm watching my new big TVs I purchased (and watching what I want!)
I had friends over to swim, eat, play
I am about to watch the fireworks from my new balcony with a stunning view.
I felt truly happy all day, did not cry once (I will again soon, I'm sure, but not today!)
I feel FREE! Happy Fourth to all!
