I am proud of myself and the strides I have made. I have learned to lean on God when I feel I cannot take another day, and somehow that knowledge brings quite a bit of comfort.
Someday I will meet Mr. Right. I leave that in God's hands. For now, I never thought I would say this, but I kinda like being alone. There are definitely times I get lonely, but not enough that I want to get out there yet. I have tried, and it just doesn't feel right. So I won't, not until the right time comes.

A self-contained, self-reliant individual is free from emotional bondage. Know thyself, for within you is all the love, happiness, wisdom and freedom you will ever need.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
