Such wisdom, Jaynie. I loved all of your post, but this speaks deeply of my experience. It's a mindset issue, I didn't give up drink, instead, I chose life and all of its annoyances, distractions, happiness etc., but I chose to live them, feel them and deal with them. in full technicolour. It's quite exhilarating at times.
I moved here over a decade ago, with the intention of having a horse again.......unfortunately, I continued drinking and the horse didn't come to fruition. But no more will I stagnate and after choosing freedom from imbibing ethanol, I'm now planning my new arrival - a horse! That's why we had the fire, clearing the ground for a stable.
Jaynie, how lovely that you've rescued and taken care of those darling cats! I have three rescued cats and I adore them.
