…I take the time to stop, and look at the long road I have traveled. And I thank God that I am no longer where I have been.

There are days when you can take a deep breath and in the stillness of that moment, you are grateful. And you know you are going to make it…even with the high price you paid, you know you will make it. In fact, you already have.

Because you have awareness and determination, and you know you will never go back there again.

There are days you stop and just can’t stop that small smile from creeping across your face. No malice, just a quiet thank you.

Today is such a day.
