Sometimes I catch myself and realize how far I've come and am floored. I never thought I'd be where I am now - actually, I thought I'd be dead already. I was rather risky (something to do with some form of mental illness). I've learned to control most of the things that triggered the bad in my life, and learned what I can control and what I can't.
Missing my grandchildren terribly. I wish I could have Teri here, but the experiment with Mikey failed and I shan't do that to my friends again. Granddaughter being here a month was heaven, and I so miss her. I want to be more involved in my grandson's life, but the baby daddy gotta go.
My idea of success isn't conventional, or traditional. I am content, and that is success. I am happy, pleased, satisfied and growing. I am surrounded by people I can like, I can be my own person, and I can make my own choices. And there's more on the horizon for me.
Yep. Success is sweet.
