I'm still here-again

[~¤DG¤~]

I don't think I need one of those lights,
I usually do pretty well in the winter.
I hate winter. Have I mentioned that?

You know what is ironic? I was looking over the vet records of my dog, and she was born on the day that H & I got married.
Not in the same year of course, but the same day. I guess that date can take on a new meaning for me now.

I took her out in the snow today. This was her first experience with it and she loved it! It was fun to watch her hopping through the snow like a rabbit. She's exhausted now, which is good.

I've spent most of the day relaxing, I made some brownies for Sunday dinner and addressed some Xmas cards. I am torn as to whether I should send one to H's family or not.
I did send one to his D & cousin, but that's all.
I want to send one to his Mom & sister, but I don't feel like being rejected so I won't.

It's hard to believe that last year at this time H & I were in such a rocky place. It was not fun.
I do remember New Years Eve, he told me that 2011 would be a much better year.
For a long time after he left I thought he was wrong, but then realized he was right. This hasn't been a good year for us, but it has been a tremendous year for myself. I've grown a lot and I know it's because of me deciding to reevaluate my life.

I used to hate the song by Sara Evans "Stronger" but now I think I can appreciate what she is talking about.
