And the sun just keeps on shining :)

Today was wonderful...

I woke up, feeling deliciously drowsy and relatively pain-free (compared to how much pain I have been in lately)... I dozed for a while... and then just as a good dream I was having began to go bad in a big way, I was woken up by a phone call from a new but close friend, who I then spent a lovely afternoon with, shopping at Harbor Town :)

After I was dropped off home, I took myself out to Kmart where I bought some things I have been trying to save up for, for ages, got a light dinner on the way back home, and settled in for the night to play with my new purchases and just generally relax... (I got new sheet sets, canvases, a quilt cover set, some dress bags and hangers and some chocolate and twisties)...

Then the friend I recently reconciled with came over and we spent hours and hours just laying on my bed, talking and laughing like we used to before everything changed over a year ago... It is amazing what a difference just one conversation can make... And I'm so glad she loved me enough to hang in there and to fight for our friendship too... We have both learned a lot... And I think it may even be possible that we are closer now than we ever have been and that our friendship is stronger than ever too...

I am also so very grateful to no longer be in a position where I am questioning everything in my life, including the validity of our friendship, based on how incredibly confused I have been by the lies and misdirection I have had in so many of the most important areas of my life of late...

It is such a relief...

And then, just as she was leaving, another friend I'd hoped I'd see tonight (but thought was busy) arrived... (It feels like even my indirect wishes are being fulfilled, these past couple of days!)

Right at this moment, I feel contented, happy and blessed...

Life... is good :)
