'I will pick you and your friends up tonight and drop everybody home. Don't worry if it's late'....said to my teenage daughter on Saturday night.

Never used these words.
I am Happy, I feel Joy, Peace, I am grateful,I am optimistic, I am wrong, I am good. I am worth anything. No Thanks I've had to much.


Today I use all those words. I am blessed!

Merry Christmas!

I am pretty sure "future" wasn't part of my vocabulary.

strange words indeed... and the words I have been longing for. they are ours now. No matter what comes up or makes me struggle, no one or nothing will take these words from me ever again.

True Love.

One word right after the other. Mean it and truly feel it. Through and through. More intensely, deeply. In the future. Can only get better.

I never mentioned being grateful or blessed.

I also never used the word amends.

But I was sorry. Sorry sorry sorry about all my **** ups. But not really willing to do much to make anything right.

The word "honesty" no longer makes me run for the hills or fills me with dread. I love it. When I get the opportunity to be honest, I get a chance to grow spiritually.

Trust

Acceptance

Willingness
