Awesome, Daystar! Thanks for that - I love it! It sounds like you are doing fantastic!
Me?
1) Moved to a new place at the beginning of August, learning that I have way way way too much stuff.
2) Trying to sort through, and give to Goodwill, friends in need and/or anyone who will take it said stuff (thus simplifying my life)
3) Reading A LOT (and it's what I want to read and not Watchtowers)
4) Going out and meeting people as much as possible
5) Spending time with friends and learning to value them and have meaningful relationships instead of running on the Watchtower Hamster Wheel
6) Enjoying life a gazillion times more than I ever did before
Yeah, there are still the hard things in life, the obstacles, negative emotions, and results of my entire upbringing...but I'm taking it in stride. Like we all learn to do, right?
OH and my mom is slooooowly coming around - I know it won't be the same as it was before, but maybe it'll be better than ever one day! Because she will accept me, not because I am doing what she wants me to do, but because I am her daughter, and that should be enough.
Thanks for asking. :-)
