SAOL MILIS

I've finally finished the first coat of primer paint for my new gates, and hung my new Arts and Crafts style sign.  What a beautiful day here in the midwest, with temperatures in the 70's, quite unseasonable for November!  I wanted to name my home something inspirational (and "revenge is a dish best eaten when cold" didn't quite fit the bill).  Saol Milis is Gaelic for "sweet life", which I think appropriate for my new beginnings, my life after the sociopath. I have an old friend on facebook who tries every day to find something to be thankful for.  And what better time to count your blessings than the season of Thanksgiving?  I am thankful for my healthy children, my parents, my sister and step-siblings.  My wonderful friends and co-workers and my great job.  And so thankful to be through the aftermath of my divorce.
