Being made to feel important and cared for...
Someone going out of their way to take care of me while I was grieving...
Finding that chivalry, integrity, and respect are not extinct qualities...
Putting a painful, negative past behind me and being open and happy about a positive future with several new, very special people in my life. (even if they are scattered from the east coast to the mid-west, the affection I have for them in my heart brings them close.)
Reconnecting with my long lost brother and his beautiful family....getting a sweet email from my adorable little niece who "can't wait to see me again"...
Truly listening to a dear friend this evening and over the weekend, and suddenly realizing how important it is to me to LISTEN to their advice (I'm so independent, that it used to be hard to take advice)...being comfortable and safe letting walls down.
Recovering...
