Just realized how long it's been since i've written a journal entry. i think that means i'm doing okay. in reading my old journal entries i've realized how far i've come in just a year. How can you feel like a completely different person just one year later. i don't recognize the person i was. i feel so different today. last year i was hopelessy depressed about my situation. i was broke after christmas and had no money in the bank. this year, i bought presents for those i love and appreciate, enjoyed family and friends during the holiday and by 12/31/07 had all my months bills paid on time, rent was paid and i had money in my account. in all our twenty years of marriage that never happened. i'm so proud of myself! it turns out i wasn't as helpless as I thought. i'm actually a responsible, capable and independent woman. Who'd of thought?
