Good morning, Overs!

Mags, love your soapbox thoughts. I drank to avoid feeling helpless and traumatized but that wasn't solving anything. I'm a slow learner - it took me a long time to understand that by blotting out pain, I was also blotting out joy. Some days are more of one or the other but they are real. Being now able to feel the whole range of emotions is an invaluable gift.

Itchy and Suze, I agree about the year to feel like home. I felt comfortable and happy about moving to the OFH from the beginning but it was about a year when I came back from a short trip and first had that wonderful "I'm home!" feeling.. It's not perfect - I don't think anything is - but the positives sure outweigh the negatives :-)

Hi PJ, SG

FBL, our temps are warmer but not like yours! Mid-forties this weekend :-)

Have a super Sunday!
