From October 15,
2010
This weekend marks the first week I have ever lived "alone" in my entire adult life, even though I am not really alone-- I have my five beautiful girls with me. As soon as I left home as a young adult I was with someone else, and have been for far longer than I ever even lived at home. This week marks my first week as independent.
What started out as a very stressful week, is smoothing into a week that is more than tolerable. I blame the good company I keep for lifting my spirits and making this transition go as smoothly as possible. They are those who are the wind beneath my wings.
I am often completely mystified as to how I ended up being the recipient of so much love and concern for my well-being. I can't even begin to describe the emotions that are frequently running through my head -- In spite of all the pain I have felt over the years, I still feel incredibly lucky and incredibly blessed, and incredibly loved. If this is a dream, don't wake me up.

OK, I
think it is time for a new hairstyle... why is it that the only photos that
exist of me all have the same style? I wore my hair so many different ways
throughout the years-- everything from long to short, curly, braided,
straight... oh well. Don't wake me up anyway.
