[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 626017, member: 13542"] Great update Blackgnat, thanks for keeping us in the loop. This made me smile from ear to ear. And that you are Australia bound, that is just terrific. You were [U]ready[/U] to go. You know what Blackgnat? I think by the time we slip into acceptance, we have already experienced so much sorrow, so much grief and shed so many tears that we have emptied ourselves of the sadness. It is a process. With each stage there is an abundance of emotions, we go through them all, upside down and sideways and then we quietly slip into acceptance. I think, for me, there are moments of sadness, they slip in like you might feel thinking about your deceased grandmother whom you loved so fiercely.....but you remember she has passed and you let go of that feeling and move on. That is how it is for me anyway. My daughter may emerge at times as a larger presence in my life, as she has recently, but then I go back to my own life, which[I] I have cultivated with great care. I[/I] think that's part of it too, we don't just let go, we let go into our own fulfilled lives. We put time into US, into our needs and wants so that when acceptance does slip in, we have a whole life to open to, to be a part of, to fulfill and to enjoy. Traveling to Australia will open up vistas you never even considered before............being with your bestie will do the same............seeing new sights will demand your presence in a new way.........you will be alive with excitement and the newness of it all................there won't be time for dwelling on what we cannot change or what we cannot control...............your life will be filled with YOU. Exactly as it is supposed to be. I am very happy for you Blackgnat. You deserve this chance, this change you are giving yourself. We are meant to experience joy and fulfillment along with all the other feelings we have ...................and those of us here need that joy and fulfillment so very much.........go for it.............let that gypsy self out and go play!
