He wraps his arms around me tightly...  I close my eyes and just float in his love radiating through me... blocking out every stress or conflict in my body.   Does a hug affect you that way?

When I was younger, there were times I was really uncomfortable being alone. What I have learned in the past years is that silence and alone time builds a strength in understanding who I am, and that I can be comfortable in my life as this person created by God.

Today, Terry took me shopping to find something ‘dressy’ to wear to an event this weekend.  After loosing more weight since Thanksgiving, my closet only has jeans and tops in it… and some sweaters.
