Hi JGrind & T2L!!

As for GALing, I am flying to Chicago tomorrow for the weekend and come back on Monday!! I'm excited...its for my birthday today! It came at a good time too...need to get away to see new scenery, take a breath, and see that there is life out there.

My second GAL when I get back is to take up dance again. I have always loved to dance so I'm looking at dance schools to have an activity to do once a week. My daughter also started piano lessons so that is once a week too. I just bought her a keyboard last night and she didn't stop playing it for over an hour after we got home! She loves it! That made me so happy to see her happy. This is what its about ladies!!!! Feeling happy for ourselves and for our kids.

JGrind - I feel for you to have had your D see that. My D had the experience of seeing her dad pull up with the OW and watch OW go into his house. She came home crying her eyes out. H just have no idea how this impacts the kids.

But today has been fantastic for me! I have had more people call me, text me, and email me happy birthday than I have ever had in my entire life. This day has been so great! I have not felt like this in months and it feels so wonderful that I plan on feeling like this every day.

No matter what happens to any one of us you must believe you will get through this. I tell myself every day that I am strong, I have the power, I have the courage to get through this because I am a strong woman, I am beautiful, I am loved, and I am adored. I give thanks for all of my friends and family and the people on this board who care for me, love me and support me. I will survive, I will live on, I deserve the best and nothing less!! Feel the empowerment when you say this to yourself everyday. You can do it!

God determines who walks into your life...it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go.
