Despite this lingering sickness and stress, I am happy. Smiling because I have so much to actually smile about, sometimes I need to give this stubborn fat head of mine a shake. I have a beautiful,caring, quirky, loving family and wonderful, loyal friends, and some familiar butterflies that I haven't felt for a while. And as easy as it is for me to dwell on the negative, to sit back and feel sorry for myself, I'm forcing a smile for now, and day by day it won't be so forced. Marilyn always has the answer. Head high, chin up, show them your teeth!
