Thank you so much, sweet bttrfly!!! Yes, I did it myself!!! No one can kick me out! That's a huge relief. and thanks on the congrats for the special team. I'm the only female on the squad, and the oldest. LOL it felt good passing. I need to work on a lot, but my team is supportive and I feel like I have a new family. AND....I didn't even come in last on the push ups and run!! (Way behind them on weights and sit ups, but that's ok)

August 2017. BD. I was on the floor and couldn't imagine how to live, let alone take care of myself and find a job and all that life entails. I still have days that I struggle, who doesn't? But it's not an overwhelming, gripping fear of my future. I sure hope the newcomers get to see that there is life beyond D. A life they can't imagine. A life of peace and hope and joy and new beginnings.

My DIL commented today "You are who you were years ago. It's good to see you be you again".

I'm so grateful for all of you here. x
