Today is December 5th, December 4th slipped by almost unnoticed. I remembered it late last night. It has been 8 years since finding out about the abuse within my childhood home. That seems like a long time. A very long time. The saying it was the best of times and the worst of times…comes to mind.
Earth shattering and great awakening.
Horrifying truth and great freedom.
With the darkest moments came the brightest insights, of Me.
There are vapors…whiffs of unease, just minor tremors…that come into my day, but for the most part I have new routines and traditions…a new normal.
I do feel more settled with my father gone…his life lingered on the outer edges of my world; out but yet not gone.
The 'anniversary' is less impacting with him gone. The unknown answered…the worries ended.
I spent the day doing what I love to do, In Peace, In Joy and with Love.

From creating a new "Jiggle Bell" Lady…then on to the WIND with my girls, stopping in at the Library…to doing yoga. A day full of my new normal!
