Oh Yes,

Have I told you lately how happy I am. I just realized what this feeling was the other day as I was driving down the street. For so long I have tried to fix everyone and everything and I just don't have to do that anymore. What freedom. The last 6 weeks have been incredible. At first I did a lot of crying - why I don't really know. Well, yes I do know. We all cry when someone dies. It is a healthy thing to do, and I was grieving the death on my marriage. But it is amazing how quickly I am recovering. And I'm happy. I love NC. I love my home. I love being near family and probably most importantly I love myself. I am healing nicely, thank you very much! Of course, I had one little relapse the other day when I watched "Under the Tuscan Sun." She was a writer, she paid for her house with her Mother's money, her husband cheated on her, she left everything behind - sound familiar???? Anyway I got that out of my system, and moved on. It is a wonderful movie, by the way.

I have a new job - temp as a Administrative Assistant (fancy title for GO FER) with BB&T a local bank. However, they called me today and phone interviewed me for a permanent position so keep your fingers crossed - maybe I will get a real job with benefits!

Well, what can I say. I am happy. For the first time in a long time I am alone, but I am not lonely. What more could I want.

"Happy Trails " to All of You who are old enough to remember that!
