    Thank you all for the good wishes :A

    Well the last day was a mixture of emotions and I am glad it is over. I am such a feeble drinker it has taken me until today to get over the affects of all the wine consumed! I am looking forward to a long break from any drinking!

    Getting ready for my hols so I will be away for a bit. Hopefully I will come back ready to take on this new stage of my life.

    Happy Sunday everyone :)

    I Believe.....
    That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
    Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

    Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

    happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
    but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy
