What a difference a day makes! :) My emotions have so dramatically changed from darkness to light! My physical problems are the same, but I feel so much lighter! It's just amazing to me how much better I feel, how much brighter the sky seems. I witnessed the most glorious sunset tonight and felt so hopeful. Can't tell you how long it's been since I felt that particular emotion!

I've gone from a really dark place where sub-consciously I had turned off emotions, thoughts, and feelings of all types, to the light! The light is a new place for me, where I get to make decisions for my own life. I even wake up looking forward to new adventures that may open up for me today! I feel joy, and happiness again! I look at myself in the mirror again, and like what I see! My joy feels like smelling a rose! Sometimes, now, I even catch myself smiling for no apparent reason. Well, those on the outside may not know the reason, but I do! Things are looking up for me and I have a wonderful friend to share the experience with.

Hopeful, yes I am! I am usually a very emotional, passionate person, but have been in a really bad controlling marriage. Now that I am developing some courage with the help of a dear friend, I can see so much clearer. I need to heal and reclaim myself. But yes, I am once again hopeful! I long to see the sunrise over the ocean and feel the warmth on my skin and the breeze in my hair! Will he be there? My wonderful friend-in my dream he is there! Not only is he there beside me, he is close beside me! He pulls me to him and embraces me and lets me know that he cares! What a wonderful feeling! I am warmed by the sun and his embrace! Yes, my emotions are running high at this moment, but slow and easy is my new motto!
Time to walk slowly down the water's edge. Maybe we frolic and splash each other just a bit. Maybe we end up soaking wet. And head back to the hotel to dry off before we freeze. Maybe we dry each other...

Just in those thoughts, you see that your emotions can take you for quite a ride from friendly to passionate waters so easily that its like breathing! So be careful and don't let your emotions carry you somewhere you don't need to be just yet. As for me, even though I really love this scene, it's my healing time and I must go slow and easy! For me, that can be a little difficult because I am so passionate. I am a snuggler! Snuggling is really very healthy however! It's so wonderful to be close to someone special like that-especially in front of a glowing fire. Add a couple of mugs of hot chocolate with marshmallows, of course. Can you really think of a more romantic scene? Well, my emotions are already on a roller coaster ride...
