Can I share something with you all...........
This afternoon I caught myself just sitting and smiling, for no reason at all.
I then realised that I was actually content and happy, I cannot remember the last time I felt like that. I dont think that I have ever felt like that.
I seem to have found some kind of peace in my life recently that I thought I would never have.
This year I am going to enjoy every moment, without worry or fear, just be at peace with myself.
I know I have some people to thank for this on here and some to friends at home.
I go into this new year a Happy Louise, I like her:D
I wish you all inner peace and happiness. xxxxxBut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -

I love the Dan Brown books, prefered Angels and Demons to Davinci code but it was a good read.
I agree that the film was a bit of a let down, loved the Monk though.But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0
