Drop your defences.

I am beginning to find my own two feet on the ground in front of me again. Yes, they never really moved but now they are stable.

Today I begin the rest of my life and in this I have big decisions to make. I don't want to stay in this room, or this place. I want to do cartwheels with the red poppies in France and lie on the white sands of the Greek Islands, take hula lessons in Hawaii, shop in the markets of Istanbul, care for baby elephants in Africa and volunteer in shelters in the developing nations. I want to go to football games in the UK and all the pancake houses in Kentucky and Wyoming.
I want to make a difference and I want to have fun.
I want to be me, and I'd very much like to be in control of myself once again.

Here's to life!
