- taking some steps today that will lead me down the path i need for some inner healing, recovery & much needed peace... i'm quite often amazed at how much i strive for better, no matter how difficult the journey.. And putting myself out there for all to see, at my most fragile state is so scary.. But the growth that comes from doing so, makes me crave more & more - & that makes me smile big & makes this journey so worthwhile.

- time with Mr Mtn, and how we're always present, everyday for one another.. We laugh, & enjoy our time so much.. It's never strained & all flows so easily.. And our days seem to get better & better.. damn, i love Him so!

- Seeing the children excited about their Christmas plans with their father & his family.. While i will be sad they won't be here for Christmas with me, i find smiles within for the fact they'll be celebrating it happily, surrounded by LOTS of family .. And i know we can celebrate once they're home after New Year's.. i don't show them my sadness i'll be without them, because i want them to really have a wonderful holiday, but i'm truly going to miss them with all my heart..

- looking around my place today, and thinking i'm not rich in possessions, but i sure am rich in blessings... and life is really, friggin' GREAT! i'm one very happy girl♥
