Positive Net Catchings!
I am going to start off simple.
You all are amazing. Truly the most positive thing in my life every day is the gift of having all this love and support! I am blessed and honored to have each of you filling special places in my heart.
I was going to post this just to a closed community where some of us save the POSITIVES in our lives... but have decided to cross post. I want to share with everyone. This past year of growth has also brought so much awareness to all that is good. When you put effort out... it is amazing to have it match and multiplied back to you. My life is filling with more than i thought ever possible.
geeze..... without copy and pasting more than half of Madeileen's post... I think the most ME way of doing this is a ScrapBook Page. (PS. It makes me warm and toasty inside having those close to me Scrapping with me! I can't explain it.. it's just another part of me that is AOK.)
This is my joy. Having my best friend and partner back. Seeing him get to know his boys.. and seeing the family we have always wanted to be... blossoming!
Train Whistles and paper airplanes, wooden models and movie nights, school work and day trips, and good night kisses. So much lost to rough days... and so many more now to remember!
SCHOOL STARTED!!!!!
Preschool! 3 mornings a week!
Phase one of the Management Promotion!
Cartoons, movies, comic books, magic cards, toys! So many things that are shared and encouraged! All summed up in a pair of blue eyes!
The Unleashed is just now Unleashing. Let loose in small doses glimpses of who he is and who he is going to be. Like my Grandfather, laughter lights his eyes and tugs at the corners long before he lets on anywhere else. The world excited and overwhelmes him all at the same time. He is developing into being a Person... not just a kid. I am enjoying his company more and more.
I am really loving watching Dman grow up. He is turning into such a ... Him. My pride grows day after day as I say a boy willing to do effort and generosity as a daily state of being. His sense of humor. His sense of self. Him.
Back in the saddle after way too many years. The smells. The sounds. The motion. The company.
My life filled with sweets!
(no photos) Rich delicious food that I never imagined would be my staples now are. No longer the KD or porkchops, my life is now filled with Chicken in white wine, Chocolate orange cake, and rissotto as a common menu items.
Wow. i mean.... WOW. First time in 11 years I have gotten away WITHOUT Spawn! and what a place to get away to. A fantasy. Oh wait... fantasies aren't real. THIS was very real... very wonderful.. and booked again for next year! * claps hands* I love my life!
Checking out other lives... so to speak. I am so grateful for living in Calgary where the arts and history saddle up beside culture and multiculturalism. The room for red neck/prejudices is so much less acceptable.. and my life is reflecting that. I am proud to share all of that with my boys... and.. well. I just enjoy sushi and curry and salsa dancing all in the same day!! :)
Still Married! More than that... an anniversary of triumph. At Xmas it was questionable if it would happen.. but not only are we still married... we are in love. I have gotten my best friend back.. and every day we are finding ways to reconnect.. and discover who we have become... who we want to be.. and how we can be that together!
Having reaffirmed that the " Red Heels" attitude wasn't just a "Fun Game" but is our life. My life. Something that is being supported! Ballet, Operas, sailing, wine tastings, and so very much more!
Interests and Friends. From Steam Punk to tea cups, photos to farmer's markets. And so very many wonderful CLOSE people to do it all with. Something that has come with age! Fine Wines and Fine Company!
Port! Cigars! Friends! Food... and a whole lot of ribbons and balloons! All for me! I was da PRINCESS!!!! * claps hands!*
Resepticles! ( purposely misspelled!) Sillyness! coloring books and cake and merriment! No growing old here! and I am soooo happy about that!
Fin - for now!
