YLF has been such a boost in my life in so many ways. Not only has Angie and all of you been incredibliy helpful on my style journey, I also find refuge here during some moments when I'd a bit down. Well, the last 3 years or so have been some of the toughest in my life. And there have been more than one down moment where I have been able to distract and comfort myself by even browsing the forum and sometimes actively participating.

However, a light bulb went off for me today. Why not share when I'm having a moment - that's a great moment? There's a superstitious side of me that worries that if I say I'm happy, something else will rain down on me. But what the heck. I know that's not logical.

So I'm just writing to say that for the first time in a very long time, I feel like a big load has lifted off my shoulders. I was waiting for some paperwork that's really important to me and it went through (woohoo). I had a lump in my breast that after 6 weeks of waiting turned out to be benigh (woohoo). I've lost almost 10 lbs since November of last year thanks to Angie's help (woohoo). After a hectic spring of work related travel, I get to stay home and enjoy my children for 2 whole months (woohoo). And the sun is shining in the greater Seattle area (woohoo).

Thank you for reading this far. I don't always take the time to celebrate the positive as I'm working to resovle the stressors or on to the next hill I have to storm. So this feels good and a little awkward if I'm honest.

If you're still with me, I'm curious, what is making you happy in your life right now?
