Feelin love...
It's been a minute; but I needed a moment. So much has changed, I've changed, I've gotten stronger, and I feel like I've overcome some things that needed to be conquered. So now I am back, stronger than I ever was, ready for anything, In Omnia Paratus. I cannot remember the last time I felt this happy or empowered or confident in who I am and what I want, and that no one and nothing can or will bring me down, ever again. I've been through hell and came out the other side, I got this; trust and believe. My friends and yes even some family have really helped me see things for how they really are, and I've done things lately I never thought I was capable of doing. I can honestly say I've never been happier, or more secure in life than I am right now, in this place in my life. I've never smiled so much, never laughed this much, "or this loud" or thought more about Santana and Europa than I have in the last month. (Inside thing; sorry).
So yeah, life is good. I rescued another cat, Mr. Darcy, eighteen pounds of pure love and sweetness; and he is adjusting well and Sookie seems to really love the company. Work is fantastic, the women in my office are funny and intelligent and really kind, loved my birthday present from the office btw.
I'm 37 as of this past Saturday and I feel I've earned every gray hair on my head. I had the best birthday to date, actually best birthday weekend; truth be told. I am spending a lot more time out and about and went to Los Cabos in Jenks yesterday with my friends and walked around the river and went to my arcade and played Dance Dance Revolution Super Nova 2 like I have been wanting to do since last time we went, then we came home and played cards and talked; it was pretty incredible.
So it's back to business as usual, movies and work and going out in Tulsa, and it seems we will be going out on the lake a lot this summer on Michael's boat, and we are even going to camp for a day or two; yikes! Expect a LONG blog on that one. I have so much to do still in this life, and time is flying by so fast I cannot believe it, I've missed writing and I am glad to be back at it.
I will write more later but for now I am headed to a pool party in Broken Arrow, later people!

Last night
| Mr. Johns and Addie |
| Mr. Johns after my Easter dinner last night, right after dessert actually! |
Last night I sat in my living room surrounded by people I love and respect and I thought, "jeez how lucky am I"? So many people are less fortunate than I, and I really took in the moment and thanked God for it. I am positive I haven't done anything to deserve all this happiness and peace and contentment. I see things for how they really are now, and I also see people for who they are as well, and what type of person they are in my life, and how true of a friend. A true friend loves and supports you no matter what, and they never give up on you and accept you. I will always try to be the friend my friends are to me. This Thursday it'll be 3 weeks since I started to get well, and I hope people are starting to see the physical changes in me, because I FEEL better.
Angie had to leave immediately after dinner and drove all the way back to Mississippi to be back at work this morning, now that is love! I think she is going to try to come down next month or I will try to get down there to her, as Alecia says she will be my co-pilot for my first trip. My Sookie is NOT thrilled about Copper and Heffer, Ang's two Chihuahua's at all. As soon as she realized they were gone and not likely to return soon she was visually pleased. as in she came out of her hidey hole and started to socialize.
I finally got all the dishes washed and put away and the tablecloth washed and put back on the table, and the house is back in order. Now I am listening to the rain, and listening to the Pogues.

Perfect night
Too exhausted to blog about this weekends events, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps not at all. Beyond happy, and feeling all the love, oh and LOVING this weather! Let's go to sleep with some Frank.
Happy Easter
No matter what other blessings are bestowed upon me I know that none can top Angie in the next room. Alright dear reader here is the thing; Ang took over a hotel in Hattiesburg, Mississippi last weekend and drove there from Florida with her 2 dogs and 2 cats in a U-Haul and towing her car. Now it seems my Oklahoma bff contacted my lifetime bff lol, and said "hey Sam's b-day is coming up, since you are so close, why not come up". To which Ang responded, "Oh I am coming up next weekend"! So all week Alecia has been saying things like, "Are you sure you want to do this HUGE dinner, and invite ALL sorts of people"? Trying to get me to cancel or whatever because she knew I would want to spend time with Ang, but I didn't catch the clues so I am still putting on the dinner, just with Angie at my table also. So there I am relaxing yesterday morning and I call Ang to chat and catch up, and I say, "You know you are invited to Easter dinner tomorrow if you leave now you could be here for dinner". Unbeknownst to me she was a hour or so away! So when I heard the unexpected knock at the door I never guessed in a million years it would be Ang, and her two Chihuahua's and well, I just cried all over her! You never REALLY get how bad you need to see someone until they are standing in front of you. In that moment all I could think of was, "I am blessed beyond measure with love and support and friendship, and I should NEVER take one second of my amazing life for granted". As I prepare to go into my kitchen and cook a Thanksgiving size meal I wish you dear reader all the blessings God has in store for you and yours and may your holiday be as happy and full of love and laughter and friends and family as mine will be.
