Some things I've been without for awhile, that I've noticed are recently finding their way back into my life:

My laugh

My confidence

My appetite

A good night's sleep

Most music (some lyrics are still too close to home... but a few months ago I couldn't listen to anything)

Movies/shows with even the slightest romantic undertones. These were also unbearable not long ago. Now, I'm mostly okay with it.

More days I don't cry, than days when I do.

Dreams and plans about the future, MY future.

Hope for better days to come.

Contentment in spending time alone. As an only child, this is old hat for me... I just had to remember how.

My grip on these things is still slippery... some times I have a really bad day and it all flies right out the window. But, it flies back in a lot sooner lately.

Feeling so much love for everyone here at SI!

Yep - this is how it begins. Happiness creeps up on you when you least expect it.

I'm thrilled for you gypsybird.

I may have reached a point where I'd piss on him if he was on fire.... eventually!!
