Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend. ~Plautus
Posted by *~Amber~* at 12:47 AMJust looking through quotes and I found that one above and this one right here. "We are keenly aware of the faults of our friends, but if they like us enough it doesn't matter." ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Neurotic's Notebook, 1960
I did not really have a family growing up. So it takes a lot to find that one person that seems to understand you, even when you don't understand yourself. So finding someone right now that would be my friend no matter what, means a lot. Teaches me something about life. Teaches me that I am not alone in this world. That is comforting to me. My friends have been here to show me how to forgive. How to love, and how to just enjoy life.
Being on this journey of life has been a great eye opener for me. I am learning to be happy. Its so wonderful.
My husband is so great. He loves me. We have been together for almost 10 years, WOW! That is pretty good huh?
My kids are so awesome.
Letting go of things that hurt was scary, but now that I am doing it... turns out, its not so bad. Cleaning out my life, and avoiding situations makes life a little less crazy. Choosing who surrounds me and choosing who makes me happy gives a sense of control.
Well that is just a little idea of what is going on in my head. I have a ways to go, but darnit I am getting there.

You are closer to "being there" than you realize. You have more of an understanding of life and what it takes to be happy than most of us have in a spoiled lifetime. Keep on keeping on....I love you ...
