Wow that picture uploaded small....anyway.....


Life is good these days. there are so many things changing....My very dear friend Linda Latner (aka the Spaniard) made an observation yesterday. She held my shoulders, looked at my face and into my eyes and said, "You're not sad anymore, are you?" And I'm not. I am not sad. It's gone. The dark weight that I carried around for so many years is gone. I realized it the other day. I was reading my "manifesto" of sorts. I had written down some things a while back about my life in order to stay sane. (literally) It is a sad couple of pages. Only a few people have read it, and they know what I mean. But now when I read it, It doesn't even feel like it is me. It's another woman. Another Karen. I cannot explain what a miracle that is. I used to think that the only way to escape the sadness was to die. I had no hope. Amazing. Now I am walking on air! I still have most of the same challenges. In fact, I have no idea how I am going to get through some of these things. But, I am not worried. Love actually does cover up everything.
