I have this wonderful earth. I have life, breath, intelligence, compassion, wit and love. I have my Faith. I have opportunity. I have great, functional, loving relationships with my adult sons. I have come one day closer to having the same again with StepD and StepS. I have made positive differences in the lives of two people yesterday. I have a handful of good, nurturing, long-standing friendships. I have two new recent friends. I have dozens of anonymous, but truer-than-true new friends on these boards. I have three wonderful grandchildren. I have my scars and they are all badges of the pride of surviving, enduring, and thriving. I have a great brother. I have two wonderful nephews. I had many years with a loving companion, friend, lover, partner, wife, playmate who was once one of the finest people I ever knew. I. Have. Abundance.
I am alone but not lonely. I am broke but not in Spirit. I am independent. I am interdependent. I am free. I am self-aware. I am sheltered, warm, dry, fed, and clothed. I am hopeful. I am evolving. I am healing. I am healing myself. I am improving.
I am ready!
