That last post needed to be written. The thoughts and emotions needed to be poured out onto “paper”, purged. But now it’s done and it’s time to focus on the rest of my life - which happens to be pretty wonderful. In less than 24 hours I have smiled many more times than I’ve cried and for so many reasons:

• watching the two most important people in my life interact happily
• reminiscing
• getting completely lost in a moment
• planning for the future
• LOTS of hugs from TheKid
• TheKid’s antics and laughter
• my girls Sadie and Jess
• new blogs on my faves list
• clever emails from co-workers
• text messages
• the stir of a creative spark again

This could’ve easily been a Thursday Thirteen but I didn’t want to wait a week.  There’s so much happiness in my life and that’s what I want to focus on.
