Leaping out Update

First let me thank each and every one of you - You are so very special to my heart - Spent the first nite at my rent house Thanksgiving nite and haven't looked back.

I made that frightening leap of that cliff that keeps so bound in fear and holds us back for so long . . . As I took that big jump, I opened my eyes and began to feel the thoughts, prayers and encouragement of all my wonderful recovery family with me and my fear disappeared.

As I knew I would suddenly hit the ground with a crushing blow; but I landed in the softness and safety of my God's hands. And I have been at peace every moment since.

Yes, There have been moments of tears, twinges of memories and little times hints of the future that will be sad - but no regrets. I know I am exactly where my God wants me to be.

And I thank everyone of you for helping me walk this path of recovery, grow in my relationship with the God of my understanding and gather the strength, courage and wisdom I need to be living Happy, Joyous and Free One Day at a Time.

May each of you have that in your lives forever,
Love & HUGS to all,
Rita

y'all know me too well

I may only have 1/2 my pots, pans and dishes - but I did get custody of my jar of Peanut Butter, my jelly and bought me a loaf of bread!

Soon I'll replace some of the stuff & that Chicken and sausage gumbo will be waiting for you!!

Hugs to you rita :ghug3

I lived on spaghetti ($1 a pound) and sauce ($1 a jar) for quite a while

It tasted like.......courage.

Love,

Oh I like that!!!

I am so happy that you are happy in your new life. I know it wasn't easy but I think you had strength and courage you never knew was there.

Well done at taking your life back and sharing your light with all of us.

Hugs
