She saw the pink button pinned to my bag....
"Mom, what does 'Viva La Vulva!' mean?"
Me: Hm. (pause) "It means, 'YAY girls!'"

It's Friday! I am in love with life!

Going for my walk, and knowing that I live in a craptastic neighborhood, but witnessing a big sister teach a little brother how to ride a bike. :)

Being able to say "no" to someone who needed to hear that and not feeling guilty because I can't fix this problem. A year ago, I'd've killed myself trying to make it better even though the solution lies with the other person, not me. And then I would have felt about 5 inches tall when I failed and blamed myself.

I'm in a much better place and that makes me smile.

A good day at work, talking to my girl, and hugs and kisses from my favorite 3 1/2 yr old,(aka Bubbagirl) who informed me....I'll be here tomorrow morning!....

Lots of things are making me smile today!!!!!
New boxing gloves- with gel inside!
Setting up a sparring date next Sunday with my new sparring partner
Having a beautiful woman ask if she could have her picture taken with me
Been a weird day! LMAO

A letter from the U.S Senate :)

Stress? Who Me?
 

A happy face on a prescription blank, inside an envelope from my Oncologist with my annual follow-up to uterine cancer.

I am still anxious when I open it. A little check mark on a little box beside:

"All test results are negative" and a hand drawn happy face.

Seven years, cancer free. . :moonstars:

free
 

Feeling free makes my heart soar. I am thankful that somehow, I had the great fortune, to be born in this country were opportunities are abundant. I have more than I need and all that I want. I feel free, and that makes my heart smile.
