A picture taken about when I started the blog on etsy. I painted back then too. The neighborhood is quiet. Billy is on the couch with me. I am so down because of europe. My case worker for pot is also down and worried. It was good to talk to someone else about what is going on, apart from BJG. 

I have cleaned the sink and kitchen a bit. Hubby will be back within 45-60 minutes. We have such a lovely life, my friend. And I think we make the most of it, and are grateful. Its been a year of progress last year. To finally get back to being in love together, safe and at peace. I am so glad we have made it this far: 27 years, dearest. BJG is my hero in many many ways. The guy who always stuck by me and never faltered except when he lost hope. I am very much in love and extremely happy with living with him and having married him. It is a happy ending. But we have much to live through still I suspect. May we love and be peaceful with our family unit of animals and our loved ones abroad and here. May we never forget peace and keep praying for it in ourselves and in the world.
