Hi Y'all!
Well...things are certainly DIFFERENT 'round here!!! And I thank God everyday for the many blessings!
I spent the last many months trying to figure out who I am, what I want to do, healing, etc. I can't say all has been conquered, but I'm in a very, very good place. I can't remember the last time I've had such peace and happiness!
Lets see...I went on my first long Harley ride with a gentleman and his daughter over the summer...that was SOO much fun! My butt hurt, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
I'm still seeing Mr. Harley -- he is amazing and treats me so well it's been hard to get use to...I'm getting use to it though..lol! My own expectations of how I should be treated as well as how Mr. Harley does have the bar set very high for anyone who thinks they will be an important part of my personal life.
I'm currently in real estate school and it is interesting and enjoyable. Tomorrow I meet with a broker to interview for his firm as well as so I can interview him and what his firm has to offer; there are several to choose from and I want to be choosy. I'm so excited about the prospect of this new chapter in my life. I haven't held a "job" other than housewife/homeschool mom in 18 years! I've put a lot of thought into this decision and I believe I will be one of those lucky ones who actually enjoys her work.
Two of my sons live with me during the week, but stay with their dad on the weekend. The difficult son is still difficult and won't speak to me or look at me when I'm near. That's ok. What he doesn't realize is that while I do love him and miss him, things are peaceful without his chaos. He thinks he is punishing me, but nothing could be further from the truth. I'm happy. It's all ok.
Saying thank you doesn't quite cut it for all the support I've been given here. I am where I'm at because you all cared -- Thank you!!
Much love and hugs!!

hearing about how happy you are makes me so happy because I want to feel like that one day,I just want to feel happy again and enjoy life like I use to,I remember loving the smell of nature in the morning and for the first time in years its like my nose opened up for the first time,the air smelled so fresh I told my bf I wish they could make an airfreshener that smelled like nature,you and others on her give me a lot if hope,I couldnt really figure out how to read people's questions or even aksk one at first,I think if I would've figured it out sooner I would've never relapsed because you guys are very inspirational,helpful,kind and no doubt honest,I hope you continue to feel this way for years and years

Thank you a bunch for the update not only it's way cool to hear that your life is good but it also gives the newcomers some hope that there is light out there at the end of the tunnel
