*Rescued Jonah

*Worked in a dramatic veterinary clinic where I met three life long friends...and many scary people I don't ever want to talk to again. This job taught me how to deal with the worlds most difficult people.

*Got my ideal job for my current situation. Its going to be a wonderful beginnig for a lot of new things in my life. Its also restored me to who I am, its amazing how you can lose yourself when surrounded by negativity..

*Clarity and strength on a huge issue that's been bothering me for three years. Once you make a decision you know in your heart is right, its amazing how much weight is lifted off you.

*I'm no longer afraid of the doctor, hospitals or anything that could go wrong with me healthwise. This is HUGE, a few years ago I'd rather die in my closet than set foot in an ER or hospital.

2004 has been a year for growing for me. Its been frustrating, but necessary.
