Wow, it\'s been over a year already!

  So, I guess I've made it to the happy face.  I still have my days and my moments, but for the most part, I think I can say I'm happy and feeling almost free. Looking back at my jounal and my first entry, it really makes me proud of my progress.  I've been able to get through the many hurdles (thanks to my family and whatever friends I have left -- not many since they don't really know I exist anymore, but that's another journal entry).   My daughter and I are settled into our condo, have met new neighbors, took up rollerskating over the summer and by George!!! my butt has actually gone back up a bit...  It's not "sagging" as much, but alas, that's just too much information! I don't think I'll ever get to the excellent face, but that is definitely a goal!  Much more to write later....
