i'm alive!

inspired by a friends blog post of a recent victory in her life, i just wanted to post myself also. i am thankful to have made it through last week and not have done something stupid. i am grateful for my life and for the progress i've made in healing thus far. it may not be the glorious victory she posted about quite yet, but for the first time in a long time - i am truly grateful for my life and that in itself is a good thing. i know you all know this, but i wanted to say something else... just to test the waters. i am a survivor of horrific childhood abuse. and i am ok. what a concept. :)
