Hello there my web buddies.  Did you miss me?  I've certainly missed you.  You are part of my stay sane plan' albeit the entries are few and far between.  The word albeit always makes me think of Ben Stein...I'm not sure why.  It must be a word he says alot...like "dry eye".  

The weekend was full.  I had endless plans to hang out with friends & family.  Did all of it but found at the close of the weekend-- I am most happy being at home; cleaning, cooking, writing and just hanging in my safe haven. 

For me, "Home" was not always my safe-haven.  It was the place I dreaded to go.  It was the place where I walked on egg shells.  It was a place where I worked endlessly to maintain peace and order but never was quite able to get there.  It was a place of tension & loneliness.  I'm really glad to not be in that "place" anymore.  It is amazing how much life has changed. 

So when I get to feeling blue about my present situation, I have only to look back over my shoulder to be incredibly grateful for what no longer is...I've moved beyond it, have you?
