Lets pop the champagne and dance................... today is my first anniversary from XN and I wanna sing BORN FREE La la la la laaaa la
To celebrate I went for an early morning face and neck massage.........so lovely and what a treat.
Oh guys, little did I think this time last year that so much has happened in the year. Can I bore you guys with my list AGAIN. I want to see it in print and share it with you. Axa is a happy bunny.
Ok, before I dumped psychoN I was depressed, scared, no confidence, unemployed, thinking I was heading for the psych ward, smoking like a trooper, using wine to medicate the pain, isolated........... I could just go on and on.
Today I feel content, grounded, dare I say kinda happy, easy with myself. This changes at times, I go through difficult times but 90% of the time I feel GOOD
