Smiling

Eleven years have passed.  I just read what I wrote last year and it transported me back to 2003 & I had a good cry.  But now I try to look forward. So many things have changed in the last year and the majority of them were great things! I have been blessed with great friends to share time with & they have helped open my eyes to the world around me - the world I had been watching from the sidelines for so many years.  I think of all the time I wasted & now understand it was something that I needed to work through on my own time schedule. For the first time in a long time, I am happy.  There is a smile on my face & I am positive about how things are going.  I know I am stronger than I ever have been - mentally, physically & spiritually. I believe that I can do anything I set my mind to.  All it takes is a little faith & a great support system.  Wish you were here to share in it, but I know you, Karen & mom are smiling down on me. Miss you Joey C!
