    • About Me

      I'm a woman of 49. An addict in recovery. I'm diagnosed with bipolar1, PTSD, borderline personality disorder and OCD, high anxiety and insomnia (of course). I live with my fiance who does a lot to help me out. I live in a small Gold-Country Tourist town at the 'foot-mountains' of mid-California. It's beautiful and lovely here. I couln't ask for any more than what blessings I have now.

      From GildedButterfly Friday

      I'm truly sorry for your pain. Your journal entries were very heart felt. I do believe you will find peace. It might just take a bit of time. I hope you have a most festive w/e. Your pics are all so grand. U both look so happy. The scenery is beautiful. I live near the Smokey Mtns & must admit after a lifetime in the mtns I do take it for granted. You look so pretty & I would never guessed you were 49yrs young.
