My new life as a whole person
Greetings to anyone who actually sees this!
It's been a long, uphill battle back from the brink of disaster. I was mostly unaware of the depths of the depression that consumed me after cancer surgery changed my physical makeup, but I am here to say that it takes more than a bit of snip and rip to keep me down. My life is changing and I am changing with it, for the better this time!
I am now the proud grandmother to a handsome two month old baby boy who is the apple of his daddy's eye, and the darling of his beautiful mother, my daughter. I am also the contented mother-in-law to a beautiful, kind, generous lady who loves my youngest daughter. The finishing touch is that I now have a sweet, sensitive, charming young lady in my circle who has chosen my son for her beloved. He is happier now than I think I have ever seen him in his whole life, and I thank the Gods for his good fortune.
It has been a strange transition for me, these past few months, from tired, sick woman to strong (although fat), confident Crone. I truly believe the corner was turned when I decided to take my existence into my own hands and start to do something to fix the problems that have haunted me for so long. I am making peace with the demons of "victim" mentality (I will go into this at another time, as I have obligations today and must attend shortly), and taking better care of my physical body by walking and swimming several times a week. I feel stronger and more sure of myself now than I have in years. I am looking forward to the next 20, 30, even 40 years for they will surely bring excitement and contentment that will counterbalance the losses that are an inevitability.
More later, for now I must fly...
