Sounds like a good day. It's funny how much fear can dictate your life until you take the power away from it. It's especially lovely that your husband chose to be a husband rather than an authority figure once you were able to show you were willing to make decisions that didn't include him.
Did you ever stop to think of what a precious jewel you are. Aside from you external beauty, your giving nature, your bullheaded tenaciousness to do everything, you have this wonder that is you.
I'm so happy that I get to see that part evolve and blossom.
Here's to you being good to yourself.. for treating yourself like your best friend.

Hi Gypsy K, it was a good day. I spent over 2 hours helping S9 clean his bedroom, then sorting thru his hand-me-downs. He's growing so darn fast. Everything he owns is too short all the sudden. It wasn't that fun doing it, but walking into a sparkling clean bedroom, WOW !
It's so wonderful that you & I are evolving at the same time. Learning to make decisions. Learning not to be afraid. You teach me so much by your example.
Hugs.
