happy news!

I have been approved for SSDI. I do not have to worry about my furries being homeless, I can provide a warm dry sleeping place and food. That alone makes me smile big. As for me...ehh, you know how we are about our physical selves... Today, and only today, I can stand and help others and myself. This is frickin huge.
In the recent past, a celebration would have....well you know how a celebration for an alcoholic/addict would run...today, I lift my mug of twinnings English breakfast, one sugar, and I can say from a truly grateful heart to a HP...thank you, blessed be, amen.
