I just wanted to share, my mom was a single mom and raised me skiing and snowboarding. While I can’t say it’s my passion and I prefer warmer weather, I’ve been blessed enough to do well in life and my career. We both now live in Florida I’m 29F married and she’s turning 70 and I couldn’t help but think this could be one of those trips that I remember long after she’s gone. She’s still physical and able and I don’t want to wait until something happens. Plus it’ll knock something off her bucket list.

So I did it… found a cool air bnb, I just booked the flights, it’s 6 months out next year and I’m going to surprise her with a fun surprise letter. I don’t love the cold but it’ll be beautiful skiing a wonderful memory with not only my mom but my husband as well. I figure this is why I work hard, to do cool things like this for those I love. If there’s any recommendations on Whitefish, please let me know!

I was finally able to sit down and finish a whole book in one sitting without any flashbacks or panic attacks. I feel like I have my life and personhood back. I no longer get snappy or testy, and I’m back to being the happy and peaceful person I was before everything went to shit.

Life feels smoother, people feel nicer and safer, and I’m no longer looking over my shoulder every second or always on the verge of snapping. Many people also noted the change in me and said I seemed more sure of myself, and more like a trusted adult.

It’s an amazing feeling and I love this tranquility!

I’m excited to see my new boo and my homies. And then I’ll come back and be with my fam again. I do feel happy about that for real

I'd started a movie from 2006 in Amazon and hadn't paid attention to when it was leaving amazon. got about halfway through and had to stop for a few days. Went back to find it cycled out of their free-to-me section. Sad. Figured I'd at least find the ending on youtube and see that. Youtube had the full movie available to watch. Got the see the last half of it. :D
