Some days are simply better than others. No ifs, ands, or buts
about that statement. That day is May 29th for me-my favorite
holiday of the year! Christmas, Hallowe'en, July the 4th and Valentine's Day combined couldn't be more special than this day,
in my humble and not so humble opinion!
This is the day, I officially regained my physical freedom! Lord only knows, to coin a phrase, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, I'd been free long before that. My mind, heart and soul had left the building, to coin another phrase, long before my body finally
had the chance to escape!
I've spent the day before this glorious day, no matter what I was doing, reflecting on how lucky I am and how happy I am!
Sure, freedom isn't free, to coin yet another phrase! (Bet you wish I'd stop saying 'to coin a phrase' but, that's probably not going to happen!) It's been a rocky road at times, spotted with pot holes and unexpected mishaps. But, it's been a road, I was behind the wheel driving down, so to speak.
Two years to the day, and I find I'm still amazed by my emancipation. A recent illness that left me debilitated,
weak and strengthless for a straight month hasn't been
able to quench the wonder I still find in the fact I'm free!
Jeepers! I've been a 'free agent' for two years and what I'd really like to do, is throw a celebration party! But, instead I'll do
what must needs be done-the laundry, housecleaning, errand running, paying bills and seeing to my teenaged daughter's
needs and some of her wants.
Really, that's enough of a party for me. For it's in the doing
of the simple things, that I'm truly thankful for my freedom.
No one standing over my shoulder nagging me about how
I can't do anything right and that I'm totally worthless.
Perhaps, I can't and I am. Who knows? But, I can do
the best I can and that, that's enough for me,
as long as I'm free-free to be who I am-me, enjoying
the peace and quiet!
