Life.......

Funny ... Life ... it can change in an instant.  It amazes me that eight short months ago I thought mine was over.  I was truly devastated, literally could not function.  Slowly, things started to change ... I began to change ... to adapt ... and grow ... I began to smile more and laugh ... really laugh and I realized how amazing my life is.  I started to just appreciate everything I have, and love the people I love deeper, and not take one second for granted.  Life is too short to dwell on the past, there is nothing we can do about it ..."it is what it is."  I can honestly say I am happier today than I ever have been.  My future is open wide and no one or nothing can keep me from living the best life I can.  My destiny lies in my hands and mine alone.  There are people and events that can help with my happiness but truly being happy is up to me.  There will be bumps in the road, everybody has them ... but I need to remember I can learn from every bump and not to let it stop my progress.  Something tells me I won't be suffering to much with the Seasonal Affective Disorder this winter ... I'm not S.A.D. ... I'm happy and I intend to stay that way.  Today I smiled all day ... and I'm still smiling.   Funny ... Life ... 

My view of heaven ...

Like Dorothy said "I know that if I ever go looking for my hearts desire, 

I'll never go any further than my own back yard.

For if it isn't there, I never really lost it"
