One of the biggest fears of beginning any journey is the unknown. We do not know where the journey will take us and that can be quite scary. What will we uncover? What will we find along the way? The journey is as amazing as the final destination. We learn with each step. We learn we have the ability to go in any direction we choose. That direction is very much of our own accord.

A sigh of relief.....
I have to say, I am thankful that Thanksgiving is over. Made it through unscathed, once again....Hope everyone had a good one.
This is my first non-Chardonnay fueled Thanksgiving in almost 15 years. What was gained..... - more clarity and presence than ever - came prepared with non-alcoholic drinks thanks to Sobriety Girl - meditated before we went to my sister's for dinner (nature's Xanax) - interacted with the kids and played Apples to Apples - DROVE HOME (huge one) - no slurring at home with husband and kids - no hangover - no remorse - no bloat other than my new found love of desserts - woke up at reasonable hour next day refreshed - didn't just "get through it" like I had at a party a few weeks ago
- hoping the same for those that struggle in their lives in anyway with anything.....
